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.

To be fair, coolsecretspy, I don't think you would have had any such problem.
The police are looking for dodgy characters carrying a flick knife or similar, not honest individuals who happen to have a craft knife as one of the tools of their trade or profession.

From the Bath Chronicle: One man from Wales was arrested on suspicion of possessing drugs with intent to supply, while another was given a caution after being found with a quantity of cannabis for his own use.
Sorry for being slow on the uptake here, and please excuse my cynicism, but is the cost of having 20 fuzz setting up a pretend airport checkpoint for an entire evening really justified by the outcome...? One arrest and a caution for carrying a reefer, as far as I can tell. |

From the Bath Chronicle: A protester chained himself to railings at Bath Spa railway station today.
Legal campaigner Carlo Ambrosino, of Larkhall, argues that planning consent for the removal of the station ramp to make way for new restaurants has run out.
Mr Ambrosino, who has fought legal battles over Churchill House and the Bath Transportation Package, says he will return tomorrow to carry on his protest.

Under normal circumstances I would have said something scathing. However, given my new year's resolution to be less judgmental I'll stay quiet.  |

Things are starting to take shape at Bath. I am optimistic that the work will be a big improvement.

From the Bath Chronicle: No police action for rail protester
Police are to take no further action against a campaigner who chained himself to Bath Spa railway station.
Carlo Ambrosino, 48, of Larkhall, was arrested for trespass last month during a one-man protest against the demolition of the station ramp.
He argued that planning consent for the work had expired, so it should not be allowed.
However, Bath and North East Somerset Council has maintained that the development, to build new restaurants in the area, is all above board.
A British Transport Police spokesman said: "I can confirm that no further action will be taken by BTP▸ against a 48-year-old man from Larkhall, Bath, who was arrested on suspicion of causing an obstruction during a protest outside Bath Spa railway station on Friday, January 13, 2012."

From the Bath Chronicle: Angry passengers have complained about an overflowing drain at Bath Spa railway station which they say is leaving a trail of urine across the car park.
One man, who had gone to pick up a friend from the station, said he had to walk through urine which was leaking from a manhole cover. He said: "Foul and not a nice first impression of Bath for tourists and visitors. We notified a member of station staff who said it had been going on for a week and begged us to complain because they had to deal with the smell all day."
Others have gone to Twitter to voice their annoyance at the matter.
@_nadnerb said: "Well that's two days now that there's raw sewage seeping from a manhole behind Bath Spa train station. Sort it out."
A spokesman for First Great Western apologised for the unpleasant situation and said it was doing everything possible to fix the drain. He added that the problem did not present a health risk to the public.
