Title: Incident at Topsham 3/11/2011 Post by: eightf48544 on November 04, 2011, 11:26:11 Was on 16:25 Exmouth Barnstable when we held outside Topsham and then at topsham station. It appears a trespasser was escorted from the line.
Trouble was it caused us to miss the 17:02 London train from St Davids. Train manager did say advanced tickes would be valid on 18:02 didn't worry us as we had Club 55.

Unfortunately their current scheme excludes payment of compensation when a delay is caused by events outside the control of the railway. You'll have to find the trespasser and sue him! ;) Title: Re: Incident at Topsham 3/11/2011 Post by: 6 OF 2 redundant adjunct of unimatrix 01 on November 04, 2011, 21:25:54 You say that in jest however if the police escorted them away details will be held so that may be possible?
