Can you tell me where each of these eight pictures was taken. And what they have in common (there are several right answers I have thought of, and several more you'll probably come up with) Please just place one picture at first ... I'm sure they will all go quickly 1. Melksham - Chris from Nailsea  2. Trowbridge - RA  3. Chippenham - Trainer  4. Bristol Temple Meads - Western Pathfinder  5. Exeter St David's - AMLAG  6. Newton Abbott - Western Pathfinder  7. Taunton - PhilWakley  8. Pewsey - Bradshaw  |

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

Yes, it is ... walk down those steps and straight out onto the main A road without any footpath. |

Yes - on Wednesday, with some of the kit so new it still had the bubble wrap on it! Just No. 2 to go, entitled "How many men in Hi Vis does it take to dig a hole?" or "Why is railway engineering so expensive". |
