I was under the impression that a part of the ECML▸ was in fact closed on Sunday Morning for an engineering possession which led to VTEC being able to run this event ?

Surely if it was possible to run 4 trains side by side, normal service could have been restored earlier?! A similar event would never happen on a busy airport runway, motorway etc, so why on a railway? |

No, your scrolling text feature is an original element of the particular (ancient!) forum software that we use.  |

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.

No, it's an irritating feature that's been there from day one. |

I did indeed have back to back BR▸ blue HST power cars driving across the screen, as my signature. They may make a return at some point, although I'll have to dig up the original image. In the meantime the error message from Hex, the Discworld's Unseen University supercomputer, will remain. |

With reference to 'scrolling texts', see also an old topic on the Coffee Shop forum, started by ... erm, grahame himself ... at http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=7291.0   |
