And to cap it all the 1718 BTM (Bristol Temple Meads (strictly, it should be BRI)) to Weston didn't leave until around 1738. Not a good evening all round.

Yes, I saw that on the website, before I left work this evening, John, and decided things might be a bit dodgy - that's my beloved 17:53 from BTM (Bristol Temple Meads (strictly, it should be BRI))!

So, I caught the 18:22 instead this evening: sorry to rub it in, but it arrived from PAD» (Paddington (London) - next trains) early, and left BTM dead on time!  Grin

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.
