It is a terrible, terrible tragedy, to learn that a four-year-old girl has been killed this week on a level crossing at Misson Springs in Bassetlaw district.
Just what happened to the car and the train we will eventually find out, but this could have been any of us.
Our hearts all go out to the family. It is truly awful.
I have previously called in Parliament for safety review of all our level crossings and I am going to have to go a lot further.
I am asking for each and every one of our twenty-six level crossings to have a new safety inspection with an accurate estimate of the cost required to make them safe.
Some people have mocked in the past when I called for underpasses on Carlton Road in Worksop at the level crossing.
But with more cars and more trains we need to act on level crossing safety.
The price of ignoring the safety of level crossings is already far too high and it is the least we can do to have a full safety audit of each crossing.
I will meet Network Rail on this next week and speak to the Transport Minister.
Some days I go into Parliament and just want to scream.
Listening to out of touch career minded MPs strutting their stuff around the Palace of Westminster.
Of course they are not all like this, but too many are and they have never experienced a day in the real world.
There are exceptions, like my good friend Stephen Timms MP.
Stephen, the MP for West Ham was stabbed by an Islamist extremist at his library surgery and could easily have died.
Instead of hiding away, Stephen has continued to see his constituents and is number one in London for the number of constituents he has helped.
He is my kind of MP.
I am pleased with a lot of recent victories that my hard working staff and I have won.
We have had a recent spate of good results.
One particularly pleasurable victory was to get the Government to reverse its decision to stop a sister and her children visiting for Christmas.
They are not any family that they are visiting, but an Army medic and his translator wife, both of whom risked their lives for our country in Bosnia.
Why on earth did the Government refuse a holiday visa for these decent people to be together in Bassetlaw this Christmas?
Somebody has got their priorities badly wrong.
