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.

I've not entirely convinced myself, as it's not a station with which I'm familiar, but is the last image in that clip London King's Cross?

Far from King's Cross, but there is a direct service available.
