It's International Level Crossing Awareness Day!
This is a 1994 Railtrack level crossing safety vid. Dad was working on the signalling section at the time & I can't remember if he was specifically involved with level crossings then but he was at one point

📹 😰 Viewer discretion advised.

A train coming towards you barely makes a sound.

This International Level Crossing Awareness Day, we're reminding you to always stop, look and listen at level crossings:

Sigh.
While it's good that passenger services are coming back in to public ownership, in reality it's making no difference!
All 3 of the TOCs that provide local services in my area are DfT or GBR run and there's been no improvement to the service what so ever!

[UK Prime Minister @10DowningStreet]

From today, millions of passengers will have better train journeys.

We’ve nationalised Thameslink, Southern, Great Northern and Gatwick Express with plans to recruit more drivers and improve signalling to reduce delays and cancellations.

Just found this ticket from 30 years ago in the CD case!
Great night out for a tenner!

A pleasant Saturday afternoon on the Apedale Valley Light Railway @ApedaleRailway https://t.co/eMyeNcfVh4

[Nick Wood @nawbus]

Urgh, I'm fed up (again) of politicians who seem to be only in it for money or power. Time for a steam engine!

Why does Codfix from the Asterix books keep springing to mind today?

We're screwed. Can't believe so many people fall for their 🐂💩

Day out in Llandudno yesterday.
Great to see all these!
Sadly missed the HST though.

[Nick Wood @nawbus]

Yesterday was the first time I'd been to Clapham Junction and / or Waterloo & hadn't seen a class 455 EMU since 1984! Sadly the last ones were withdrawn a couple of weeks ago.
I did see one, however, at, of all places, Cockshute!

[Nick Wood @nawbus]

Oh super. This is my County Councillor - who I DID NOT vote for!

Something rather nice has arrived today!

Great news!

That news we discussed….

The fleet has grown.

[Nick Wood @nawbus]

TBH I would prefer new trains! Taking a 4 coach train from the Midlands / North West via Birmingham to the South is always overcrowded.

'A real step change' says an XC cheese in the video - is it boot. Not impressed.

[Nick Wood @nawbus]

I see there's a lot of promotion about the new XC Voyager refurb. Trouble is that XC have had the franchise since 2007 and this is the first major upgrade the Voyagers have had since then. It's taken 19 years!
