For some reason, All of the Cheltenham Spa trains to London Paddington have been cancelled, they are all terminating in Plat 1 at Swindon, and been replaced with a H.S.T.  set, No I.E.T. Sets, yet all other trains to London appear to be running.

Priceless!

Other helpful French phrases include:
Avant garde - equivalent to DOO (Driver-Only Operation (that is, trains which operate without carrying a guard)) here.

This thread is getting like a version of 'I haven't a clue'.  Can we play Mornington Crescent across the GWR (Great Western Railway) network?

Exactly so, and Dispatch Box is absolutely right to abhor thread drift. For any members who nonetheless feel like playing (or not) something akin (or not) to Mornington Crescent (or not) but who doesn't currently possess a wireless, I have created a thread in the Lighter Side (or not).

My latest split, year by year, of this ongoing discussion.

2018 was another bad year, based purely on the number of posts here - which I emphasise is not a particularly scientific measure.

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.
