Something steam-hauled has just powered noisily through Nailsea & Backwell: can anyone tell me what it was, please?
Logged
William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament) 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.
