This train will be terminated at Bristol Temple Meads. It will no longer call at: Bedminster, Parson Street, Nailsea & Backwell, Yatton, Worle, Weston-Super-Mare, Highbridge & Burnham, Bridgwater, Taunton, Tiverton Parkway and Exeter St Davids. This is due to an earlier train fault.

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) 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.

First time in a while that the HST▸ (High Speed Train (Inter City class 43 125 units)) stop boards at Bedminster and Parson Street have been used in anger, I imagine.
