To be held somewhere in Taunton. A diary date for a representative of each of the many user and specialist public transport groups across the South West.

Confirmed to be at the Firepool Innovation Centre - where we met last time, and just across from the station.

Also 24th October 2025 - probable date for the Autumn General Meeting - just being "pinged" around the TWSW^» team

Tickets (free) via Eventbrite .. for organisations, groups to send reps and for unattached individuals with a strong interest. Please ask me if you need a more formal invite. Worded that way to avoid getting the entire membership of the Stogumber Night Bus Campaign coming along and drowning the meeting - a rep and an understudy is plentry.

I'm sorry for that confusion, ChrisB: I've now moved your post here and will amend the topic headings for those historic TravelWatch SouthWest meetings.

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.
