I, too, have generally praised the barrier staff, here at Bristol Temple Meads.

I've often been impressed with their patience, helpfulness and downright reasonableness - sometimes in the face of quite rude behaviour / comments from one or two of my 'fellow' commuters.

Please be nice to them: barrier staff are people, too!  Wink

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post - a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London, depending on context) 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.
