This one has got me stumped:

From Nailsea's entry, under 'Transport' in Wikipedia

Quote
Nailsea and Backwell is serviced by both local and high speed express trains, all except one are operated by First Great Western.

I know not to take Wikipidia as gospel, but is there a non FGW (First Great Western) service that calls at NLS?

D'oh! <slaps forehead> Bignose is a muppet. Should've read on in the entry. One northbound AXC» (Arriva Cross Country - about) service at 0842. Note to self: Must read carefully before posting.

Well, bignosemac, I'm actually rather pleased that we no longer have a smelly Voyager cluttering up our lovely station, some mornings ...  Roll Eyes Grin

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.

Though it was booked an HST (High Speed Train) for the final 3 months (the Aberdeen service), which was rather nice.

I think you'll be out of luck with the TOC (Train Operating Company) abbreviation 'NT' though. There's a large donkey sanctuary 'oop' north that's got that moniker already.
