Yes - Retford. The 180 hasn't actually called there, it's waiting for an Eastcoast service to overtake Smiley

You're right, the 24 hour rule has passed Smiley But you are wrong in thinking it is Didcot Parkway Sad

4.  Westbury.  Smiley
Logged
William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) 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.
