Coaches have been vandalised at Southampton Airport Parkway, causing cancellations to bus services.

A spokesperson for South Western Railway confirmed that several coaches were vandalised on Saturday night, September 28.

It comes after passengers were told to avoid the station due to 'overcrowding'.

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.

Agreed.  Probably not wanting to give the perpetrators the “oxygen of publicity”.

Which football club was playing where?

The other week when there was engineering work at Portsmouth they announced that the RR would not stop at Fratton. Been previously trashed by football supporters?
