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.

Yup, Toddington. A grand day out and my first ever visit to the GWSR.

Class 50s? Meh. Wink

The slightly creased Edmondson dog ticket in the first picture above is because Finn tried to clip the ticket himself while I was trying to compose the picture.
