cess[edit]

The term "cess" is commonly used in railway terminology to represent the area between the outermost rail and the boundary fence. It includes the Dager Zone and the Safe Place. I believe, although this cannot be proven, it represents the run off from the permanent way. The other explanation I have that it means the access to the "perway" Could anyone shed some light on this. --Ron1952 (talk) 07:27, 15 April 2009 (UTC)Ron1952[reply]

That meaning has been added to wiktionary, with apparently a very different origin. It should be a disambiguated term here, not an entry on this page. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 14:25, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
So should the useless advice "For the railway term, see Glossary of rail transport." at the top of the article be deleted? Or, better, should "cess" be added to that glossary? 86.132.223.39 (talk) 15:32, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Somebody messed that up back in January by splitting the glossary by supposed regional variants. I've adjusted this page, but have no idea how many others might be affected. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 21:48, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
