I don't think that I will visit the Plough today in view of the limited interest shown by others.
Perhaps some of us could meet in October ?

Glad I checked the forum - just about to leave the event to go there ... will head home then

Sorry about that.
Had I known that you or anyone else were going to the Plough then I would have visited also and enjoyed a pint or two.
Unfortunately I took your earlier reply to mean that a visit by yourself was doubtful, and as no one else had indicated their intention to join us, it seemed likely to be a waste of bus fares/time.

Again sorry to have missed you, and hope to meet in future.

A proper intercity train has a minimum of 8 coaches, gangwayed throughout, with first at one end, and a full sized buffet car between first and standard.
It has space for cycles, surfboards,luggage etc.
A 5 car DMU^▸ is not a proper inter-city train. The 5+5 and 9 car DMUs are almost as bad.

No problem ... I was in doubt until I saw how things panned out. There's a chance at these things of leaving with a key player to continue discussions on the London train and it's always worth leaving the option of that.

May I offer my apologies for my own inability to attend either the TravelWatch SouthWest meeting or the (hopefully becoming equally traditional) social meetup in The Plough afterwards.

I have to work alternate Saturdays, and as mischance would have it, today was the one I had to work. Roll Eyes

I can, however, hopefully book a day's annual leave for the next meeting(s) in Taunton. Wink

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.
