I have edited the top post on this thread to add in Network Rail events concerning Bath Engineering works.    Also please note that there's likely to be an event in the New Year to open the accessible (with lift) footbridge at Chippenham Station.  Sources (but ones that I'm not qualified to comment on their accuracy) tell me the bridge is finished but awaits building regulation inspection before it can be opened.   Comment to confirm / deny that would be welcome.

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.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.
