The Rover tickets are brilliant value yet very poorly advertised. When FGW▸ (First Great Western) took over the franchise they put rangers down by a 1/3.

Basically, they changed them to Half Price from Adult instead of the traditional rover "Third off"

Hmmm.  Shouldn't children be tucked up in bed by 09:00:00 PM ?

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.

Well, no, as we would only be able to use the rover for 12hours out of a 24hour day!
