I have not yet met Helen Belcher but I, too, am delighted to read (belatedly, on my part Embarrassed ) here that she has been recognised for her services to the transgender community. Lips sealed

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.

How the **** do you quote me back to 1975, Chris ... in those days I lived in Orpington, studied in London and worked in Whitehall 1 day a week and Sevenoarks 2 days a week.   For rail types, the stock was mostly 4EPBs with some of the lower unit numbers to Bullied coach design and the higher numbers were southern design, and heacodes on the Hastings units were things like 22 and 33 because the older units had metal stencil numbers that used and they only carried one of each digit.

Answering my own question .... I suspect you have cut the last digit off the date parameter when you quoted, making the quote be time just one tenth of the way from 1.1.1970 to when it was really written.
