Yes, Jo and Ollie are both on FGW▸ (First Great Western) twitter - but generally not at the same time: see http://twitter.com/FGW/status/224852021268852736 for example!  Wink

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.

Good to see the hours expanding.  

To fuel the discussion on whether they would be even better 'slid' earlier, here's a graph (6 or 7 years vintage) of journey start times



Footnote - the * symbols are the times that the TransWilts services start, showing how they're before the peak in the morning, and after the peak in the evening (resulting in no practical commute opportunities);  with a later morning and earlier evening train too, the existing trains will become useful as 3 more commute opportunities are added


Updated quote - an old http image now replaced by an https one.  Came up when "on this day" flagged the start of GWR▸ (Great Western Railway)'s Twitter feed.
