It's not Taunton - even I know that! Wink

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.

Self-service machines

Situated by the ticket office.
Oyster^▸ PAYG^▸
No
Penalty fares

Penalty Fares apply to journeys from Bristol Temple Meads station when travelling with:

----

Arriva Trains Wales have stopped serving Bristol Temple Meads AFAIK^▸ ... And no mention of South West Trains Waterloo/Salisbury Services...!! Also I do believe the ticket office is open slightly later than 21:30... I recall purchasing a FC^‡ upgrade for the SWT^▸ Salisbury service at 22:00 ish...!

This could cause confusion for passengers who travel on an ATW^▸ 150 from Temple Meads. Is this a FGW^▸ or ATW service? I would assume it is FGW, so you could be PFed, even though the train is branded as Arriva Trains Wales.

Could they have included this as Penalty Fares may not apply to FGW trains operated by a ATW crew? I don't know, but this could be a reasonable assumption as FGW don't do PFs^▸ in South Wales.
