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.

Truro has become Taunton and Gloucester has become Worcester. How bizarre.

Taunton and Worcester - so good they named them twice!  Grin

Of more concern is I went to the station specially to get them and didn't notice til now!

They obviously opted for safety on the booklet for the Cornwall blockade which starts today - there is no map on the front!

For the period of that timetable it is correct, services will call London, Oxford then Swindon.

I agree in partial with that. Perhaps a note to say this is the amended train/station running during the East Reading Blockade?

Although that Truro/Taunton mistake is a basic, schoolboy error... Grin

Presumably that Worcester is meant to be Gloucester.

FGW have published an amendment which acknowledges the error in booklet 1, but not the one on the cover of booklet 2.
