Apparently not. Update says it was a Victorian pressure vessel. Hope no poor kids were doing their exams in the school that was evacuated. |

Not sure if this is pedantry or health and safety gone mad - but if a train passed this sign at sufficient speed to cause turbulence, I'd be a might concerned about those buffer stops....  |

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.

Also, why are the words 'Prams' and 'Pushchairs' capitalised in English but not Welsh?

They are not big on capitals, with the main exception being Caerdydd. |

Probably because the English was written by a random employee and then translated into Welsh by someone who has a proper knowledge of the grammar of that language. As I recall (happy to be corrected) only proper nouns in English should start with a capital letter, so the English on the sign is incorrect, the Welsh is spot on! Unless of course it is south Walian Welsh, in which case it's just plain wrong! |

I think that's Quite Complicated Enough for a Bear of Very Little Brain.
