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.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.

Slightly late with this one - as you can see by the Valentine's merchandise in the windows - but M&S at Paddington has, at last, reopened.
