The point is I didn't make any connection, now maybe as Martin said its becuase the weather on the SouthCoast is actually pretty mild

Well, thats a start I guess

This is what I don't get. A start to what?

What are the little steps for on the edge of the platform ?
Does the track dip alarmingly just there ?
Or is for some form of preist to stand and bless the train before it leaves ?

No. I think they are the remains of the diving board.

I doubt you'll find any people that believe in some sort of train God in Wales...

They not all god fearing individuals then ? I thought IKB was.

Hmm...

My point was that, on some days, the level of service we get is so appaling it makes you want to move back to England, and that if God was looking down on the rail network in Wales, he'd be disappointed that His Earth was being used in such an appaling way.
