On way back on the torbay and we all noticed a massive fire off to the right and loads of smoke - can't see anything on web but we all noticed it

Lots of distant sirens outbound from Nailsea (where we have a regional fire service incident centre) earlier this evening - so there may be something in it.

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.
