Jeez just put gates on crossings and there will be no Clarks on youtube and no unfortunate pensioners..

It seems to me it would be fairly cheap to fit a micro switch and lock in the gates to show the signaler if the gates were open or closed , no use on a 100+ line like Ufton but for the chuggers on Sudbury max speed 45 I think the signal box could send an emergency signal to the driver if the gates were not locked,, there could be a refuge at the side for anyone needing to abondon a vehicle in emergency,,with a panic button.
I dont think that would be too expencive in railway cost terms

I have, for a long time, advocated that once you get your FREE oap bus pass you driving license should be taken away. Even on long distance bus'es you get very reduced rates for fares.

NO WAY !!

Don't forget the bus pass comes in at 60 and a bit (3 months at the mo).

Although I now have my bus pass, I could not survive without my car. Rural areas like where I live are not well served with public transport of any sort these days.:(

I am a pensioner, I have had my licence for over 50 years and not even a "tea stain" on it PLUS on my licence I have a class D...check that out !
Apart from being a retired BR man, I have also done bus driving AFTER MY RETIREMENT (class D) for a time until my ill health , which did not affect my driving, became too bad. I still drive today, admitting only local in my car, usually the Tesco or Morrisons "shunt", I am ALSO an advanced driver AND a member of the Guild of Experienced Motorists.

Your comments as quoted are absolute rubbish and only fit to be deleted !!!
