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.

 you see i made a point of saying with a main line connection because i was pretty sure that the south devon hadn't had one, that would have been interesting! i was sure that at some point kingsweir had seen one, the only line that im now not sure of is the tarka line past coleford junction, i thought it was a safe bet that the network rail hst had been up to barnstaple but now im not to sure as i cant find proof and i keep hearing 'weight restriction'

Hmm. A Class 66 hauled passenger excursion on the Marsh Barton stub, maybe (see http://teignrail.com/whats-new.php), but not an HST▸ .  |

The General Motors Class 66 hauling the train came abruptly to a halt - freight drivers do not worry about spilling the soup in the diner ...

Thank you so much for this link, Chris. Some fabulous stuff there. I worked at Barnstaple station between 85 and 87 (started the week the GW▸ Exhibition train was in town), took no pictures (!) and it is particularly good to see some of the characters I worked with. On HSTs to Barnstaple, the last to date would have been a Pathfinders Tours special starting from there, probably 2001/2. It ran as the 07 10 service train ex Barnstaple and, as that train did and its equivalent still does, called all stations. |
