WOW! I wasn't expecting that one to go so quickly! Yes, it is Trowbridge, at around 05:40 in the morning where the first of 2 daily HST services calls before heading to London Paddington.

That was a rather deliberate attempt to throw people of the beaten track (No pun intended Tongue ) Considering the Orange Door Indicators are illuminated suggesting the train was scheduled to stop Wink

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) 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.
