Another rather garbled story, with a random station picture to illustrate it, from the Western Gazette: Person hit by train on Heart of Wessex line Yeovil Pen MillA person has been hit by a train on the Heart of Wessex line this afternoon. The incident occurred between Bristol Temple Meads and Bath Spa stations. Rail operator First Great Western has tweeted that all lines between the stations are blocked as a result. Network Rail has reported that its representatives are on site in Keynsham with the British Transport Police and emergency services. |

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.

I think both images make perfect sense. To illustrate my point:  An elk, yesterday |

Things take longer to happen than you think they will, and then they happen faster than you thought they could.

But that's a very weird map, with the Chiltern main line running due north-south, and Bedford off to the north-east of London (plus several other oddities).
I think that Harry Beck would want to have his say about it.

200 in two carriages sounds little different to weekday mornings. I'm surprised they got on if they felt it was that overcrowded.

Photograph: Sean Smith for the Guardian Not Redland, IMHO▸ . Could be anywhere in the old Thames Trains area. I'm probably wrong, but the track in between the two trains make me think Reading. |

Looks like it. Train from London arrived in the background. Train to Bristol Temple Meads waiting to depart in the foreground. |
