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.

A post from an engineer on another forum reveals 2016s reliability stats: For those who think our 57s are a pain, my annual post of statistics for the up Cornish Night Riviera is now in the Railways of Cornwall specialist section of the RM Web forum.
Of 307 scheduled services, all ran and only 5 were not 57 hauled and just TWO of those were down to train fault. Derailment, fire and flood were the others ! Not bad going if I may say so Of course he doesn't mention punctuality but still positive results from old locos. |

I know some schools who went back on January 3rd - the day after the New Year Bank Holiday.

All of the premier inns in Plymouth and close proximity are fully booked on 13/2/17, so I suspect an event in Plymouth might be the guilty party,

I wonder how many people on Sunday sleeper follow some journey planners and change at Plymouth onto XC▸ service to Penzance instead of staying in bed ! 😪😪

Now there lies a tale. When I booked my berth the clerk tried to convince me I'd be turfed out at Plymouth.
Took a bit of explaining that wasn't the case.
