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.

The latest (but very hopefully not the last!) update from Ollie's blog: see http://www.iworkforfgw.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=148&p=209

Ollie's a great chap, for those who don't know him, and I really do hope things turn out alright for him: he's a credit to FGW▸ (First Great Western)!

For those that haven't checked the blog recently, and I don't blame you as I have done nothing to it, due to having a time out to have a big think about it's current future.
Will do another post here in a few days time with my ultimate decision regarding it's future.

Blog has started up again.

Going through a lot of changes to make it (i think) more user friendly.
