William Huskisson MP▸ 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.

When I got back to Westbury from Paddington at around five past 9 this evening they were announcing the incoming train from Penzance as being 44 minutes late due to "Police having been called to the train"

was the guard 'flirting' with a passenger lol
Hilarious... The TM‡ was apparently assaulted by a member of the public, so the service was cancelled at Plymouth and to run empty to Exeter where an Exeter TM takes over. TM decided he was happy to continue to Exeter, hence the reinstatement.

The TM‡ was apparently assaulted by a member of the public We had "Disruptive passengers" on my train back from Plymouth the weekend before last so can sympathise. I hope that the TM was OK and that the book is thrown as this is not acceptable. It amazes me what passes for acceptable behaviour at times.

Just had a very unpleasant journey down to Plymouth. A small group (looked 14-16 ) felt it was appropriate to swear, tear up safety leaflets, shout, generally throw things about. Well behaved as TM‡ went through then started up again. Maybe I am just getting old!!! This just seems to be a more and more common occurance.

Hope guard is OK and it hasn't taken the fun out of the job. I's urge him/her, FGW▸ and BTP▸ to deal with this is strongly as possible.

They'll be accommodated as well as possible on other services, what else do you think would happen to them? You can blame the TOC▸ for many things, but when a safety-critical member of staff is assaulted on duty by one of the passengers and not fit to continue, what else do you expect them to do?
