To be fair to Network Rail's redoubling project team, they are trying their hardest to identify savings within the overall budget or other possible sources of funding with a view to using any such money to deliver useful add-ons, with a Shipton platform extension and extra parking on the works compound at Charlbury top of the list.

Which is to their credit, and given the very tight budget anyway, no mean feat if they pull it off!

Thanks, IndustryInsider!  Wink

If I may make a gentle suggestion here: we seem to have gone off at a bit of a tangent from the original topic heading - and having already agreed that 'comparisons are odious', could we please keep future posts on this particular topic ... erm ... on topic?

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.
