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.

Hmmm, bit of a strange one that.  Both driver and TM‡(resolve) are Bristol crew who work the train throughout, so it seems odd that they ran it to Reading if there was some reason it could not continue beyond?

Yes, I wondered that, too: that's why I thought it was worth posting. However, you're the Insider!  Wink Cheesy Grin

You should have titled the thread "Tired commuters DUMPED at Reading". What a missed opportunity. Wink

Hmm. I prefer to give my posts the greater gravitas of factual accuracy, rather than overblown hyperbole, Btline.  Wink
