With thanks to you for providing the information, NickB, I've now added it to the Coffee Shop forum calendar.  Smiley

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.

Are these open for anyone to attend? Or do you have to book?

Where in Paddington will it be?

Usually just turn up and harangue. Likely to either have a desk set up or floor walking the concourse.

I haven't heard otherwise (nor seen any promo materials) so I presume that this is still going ahead tomorrow.

Can't wait. 😍

Perhaps they are coming by train !

A proper intercity train has a minimum of 8 coaches, gangwayed throughout, with first at one end, and a full sized buffet car between first and standard.
It has space for cycles, surfboards,luggage etc.
A 5 car DMU▸ (Diesel Multiple Unit) is not a proper inter-city train. The 5+5 and 9 car DMUs are almost as bad.

......well the trains can't be relied upon to turn up, so why should the management be any different?
