Thanks, thetrout!

Well, taking the easiest one first: number 3 is Bedminster - the classic 'delayed XC▸ (Cross Country Trains (franchise)) westbound overtaking FGW▸ (First Great Western) westbound' manoeuvre!  Roll Eyes
Logged
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.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.

Spot on... Wink a procedure I used to be all too familiar with... More irritating though when sat an that bluddy XC▸ (Cross Country Trains (franchise)) Service waiting for the FGW▸ (First Great Western) Slow Service to get out of the way at Yatton/W-S-M... Stop, Start, Stop, Start which in turn = Approx 35 mins late at Taunton Angry
