William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament) 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.

It would appear from the timings that that is the case. One assumes that an additional Class 150 will be used from/to Minehead, attaching/detaching at Taunton to the service trains.
