William Huskisson MP▸ 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.

Mea culpa. Didn't read the rules. It was a long time ago that I sat any exam, but it was drilled into me to read the whole question. Evidently I've forgotten this.

Yes, that's rather what I thought - I just didn't have the required confidence to actually put it into print.  |

9. Royal Oak No.9 - Royal Oak Tube just outside Paddington?
Yup, both correct  6. Highbury and Islington Northern City Line platform? Correct 13. Finsbury Park
Correct 8 is just east of Christian Street Junction on the LT&S between Fenchurch Street and Limehouse. So I assume taken from DLR▸ train at Shadwell station. Correct taken from Shadwell platform, also with all the talk of class 387s on the forum at the moment, thought I'd better include one, albeit not one from our region. 7 is South Ruislip, with the class 66 in platform 3 having come from either the Refuse Transfer station or the Wycombe line, being overtaken by the Chilterns train on the Down Main.
South Ruislip is correct, with the refuse train having come up from the Greenford branch from Cricklewood to Calvert, just so happened that whilst it was paused, a light breeze was blowing in my direction from the train, not an overly pleasant smell. oh, and also up from Taunton Place Correct, figured I'd better include Taunton somewhere along the line, this being a picture of where picture 4 was taken from  |

Thank you for your consideration, Adelante_CCT - it's almost as if I was actually there!   |

Let's get you going with no. 1 - Greenford (looking from the Up Central Line platform across to the Up signals before Greenford West junction on the Wycombe Single line Yes, this was taken a good 20 minutes before the daily Chiltern service was due past and the signal was already cleared for it. After taking this I headed up to South Ruislip and following on from BNMs past thread All by myself..., caught the service to Paddington, although on this occasion it was a ratio of 2:2. Knowing that many passengers who use this are train enthusiasts, the guard twice made sure that I wasn't headed back up on that service, as from yesterday it runs fast to High Wycombe instead of previously to West Ruislip. Here it is at Paddington before heading to Wycombe  |

Now, if they could extend the service to Snow Hill and add some Pullman dining - one could relive the golden age of the Birmingham New line. |

10. is Brockley. That style of four-track two-platform station is common on the SWML▸ , but on the Southern network there's just this run of them down to Norwood Junction.

Correct I was trying to get a picture of a southeastern going over on the Nunhead to Lewisham line viaduct over the station to make it more confusing but was unsuccessful in getting a decent one. |

Here it is at Paddington before heading to Wycombe I took that train in November as part of my to do list. I can safely say that it passes through some of the most uninspiring pieces of urban wasteland in the UK▸ (Park Royal area?) and have no plans to repeat the experience. Been there, done that, move on. |
