When the First Class Host doesn't need to ask you how you take your coffee.

When you arrive at Frome Station and are sold a ticket to your destination without having to say a word.

When you ask to purchase a First Class Upgrade and the Train Manager says "Don't worry about it"

When a certain XC^▸ Train Manager doesn't even bother to check your ticket as he knows you have one to Bristol Temple Meads"

When a W-o-E guard see's you on the platform and comes out the rear cab just to chat to you

When you board a SWT^▸ Class 455 with a full bladder and then promptly realise that is a very bad idea

When a certain SWT RPI^▸ laughs and smiles at you when travelling to London Waterloo because you bailed out of a 159 at Basingstoke just to continue your journey on a 444 for no other reason than you can...

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.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.
