Superheroes with names like "Rush Gordon" and "Wander Woman" are taking to train platforms across Wales in a bid to cut accidents (link below.)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/7299424.stm

The initiative by Arriva Train Wales is to highlight more than 100 incidents in stations and on trains in Wales every year.

Passengers are also being urged to report dangerous behaviour to staff.

The top hotspots in Wales for incidents include Cardiff's Central and Queen Street stations, Newport, Bridgend, Pontypridd, Rhyl and Swansea.

As part of the safety drive, the "superhero" characters of Rush Gordon, Wander Woman and Super-Twerp will be patrolling platforms across Wales on Monday.

Train staff will also be wearing 'super safety' stickers, and handing out leaflets spelling out how passengers can enjoy their journeys without incident.

Aren't there enough superheros in the Principality just at the moment?

I'd enjoy my journey more if I saw "On time Timothy"

Another good night for Welsh sport last night, though I'm not into boxing myself.
