The Fact Compiler received an email yesterday from Keith Barrow, Associate Editor of the IRJ.
Keith wrote to point out the following story on the Ludlow and Tenbury Wells Advertiser website:
A49 closed after lightning strikes rail crossing
10:40am Monday 8th September 2008
THE A49 near Ludlow has been closed after a level crossing was struck by lightning. The road near Onibury has been closed in both directions between the A4113 and the B4368.
The Highways Agency confirmed that signals at the crossing had been damaged and that Railtrack is carrying out repairs.
Good to see that the Highways Agency can correctly name the other government agency (sorry private company) that it has multiple safety interfaces with.
