  INTRODUCTION
In Somerset, the two members elected by the freeholders were usually not great landowners but men from among the leading gentry who had had experience in county administration as sheriffs, commissioners or assessors.
From the time of the earliest parliaments of the reign of Edward I, to which the boroughs sent their representatives, it was never certain whether a town would be invited to send members or, if invited, whether it would be willing to incur the expense of the representatives' journey to Westminster.
The Act had a considerable effect on the representation of the county of Somerset which was reduced from 16 to 13 M Ps, and the constituencies were greatly altered.

The only UK line that will be exempt from ERTMS and GSM-R is the Channel Tunnel Rail Link, which has to be compatible with the Channel Tunnel itself, which uses non-GSM-R technology.
There are four TEN routes in the UK mainland: the Channel Tunnel Rail Link and the part of the Channel Tunnel that falls within UK jurisdiction, the West and East Coast Main Lines, and the Great Western Main Line between London and Bristol/Cardiff.
The answer is "Yes", but only in respect of one UK line - and the one line that is exempt is (believe it or not!) the Channel Tunnel Rail Link, because it has to be compatible with the Channel Tunnel, which itself uses a non-GSM-R signalling system.
