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.

Is a clue on the side of the train, or would that be too easy?

Plymouth....

Educated guess by looking at the date stamp and then looking at your posting history for around that date, for some clues as to where you may have been.

That's allowable resourcefulness rather than cheating, right?  Tongue Wink Grin

I was actually on my way to Melksham, to join the excellent carnival procession there on that afternoon - see http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=13900.msg157215#msg157215  Grin

Debatable - but I did deliberately leave the date stamp in the picture, so I'll give you the benefit of any doubt.  Grin

For some reason I seem to have photos of that particular HST (High Speed Train) in Swindon, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Newbury and Exeter.  But not Plymouth!

EXACLTY as it should be - advertising around the area.

Please label up a 153 as "TransWilts" ... then run it everywhere and anywhere - and only occasionally on the TransWilts!

How much does a set of vinyls cost?   The only reference I can find is

Quote
Each set of vinyl stickers cost about ^40,000.
at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_357
and that's for a 4 coach train.   It also says "citation needed"!

I've found by use of Google that a full wrap for a double decker bus will cost ^2500 + vat. Would a train really be  16 times the cost of doing a bus? Not that much bigger.
