Colleagues at a certain depot in the south west tell me that 12,000 extra boxes of biscuits have been ordered to pre-empt added demand when the Club 55 Promotion kicks in. Similar amounts of fruit cake have also been stockpiled. For the uninitiated, Club 55 offers unlimited freebie snacks for first class passengers of a 'certain age'. It also gives them discounted rail travel.  |

Just a shame there aren't any offers to attract someone with a lifetime of rail travel ahead of them into first class to taste the biscuits and fruit cake  |

True, but I was referring mainly to those in the 16-25 railcard category, who receive no discount in first class (except for Advance fares). |

When I was 15 I didn't really have ^55 to splash about and I doubt many other 15 year olds do! |

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.
