Should the Train Fellow be worried about his new tendancy towards describing the relative merits and pitfalls of an HST▸ (High Speed Train (Inter City class 43 125 units)) (re-conditioned) vs an Adelante and a Turbo?........ Grin

Is the viduct the one on the Totnes to Buckfastleigh line (the one which used to run to Ashburton until it was axed to make way for the A38 Angry )?

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.
