Is this the one at allerford near norton fitzwarren? As I was delivering in this area at the time and may have seen the person in question (not actually on the line) but on that road

I don't know the area - best description I can find online is "just west of Norton Fitzwarren" from tauntontrains.fotopic.net. Maybe someone with more local knowledge can advise. In all seriousness though, if you reckon you have information that could be materially useful to the investigation then it might be worth contacting RAIB▸ (and maybe not discussing it in this public setting  ). |

I remember that - I was on the northbound XC▸ 1823 service from Exeter to Brizzle and we got stopped between Norton Fitzwarren and Taunton for about 10 minutes. We then set off again and met the southbound FGW▸ HST▸ service (which I assume was the train involved) a few minutes later around 1900. I didn't see anything but I remember the train manager's announcement that someone 'might' have been hit - I assumed as we were soon on our way again they clearly hadn't fortunately.

Yes, about one mile west of Norton Fitzwarren |

Thanks for that confirmation, JonG - and a warm welcome to the Coffee Shop forum!  |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

Google Earth pic of location: Apologies, but off topic. I passed this area today and I noticed that sidings have been laid on part of the formation of the Devon and Somerset Railway branch linking into the recent triangle that the WSR has built. Only a short siding (I guess for stabling) on the former line to Barnstaple Victoria Road, so only another 45ish miles to go!! Trains to Wivey anyone? |

That's correct if your facing Taunton just beforethe bridge over the wsr from which you can see the triangle there is a road to the right, the crossing is down there
