Damn!  I was going for that one!  Grin

5.  Gosport.

At least none of them are Taunton.  Roll Eyes
Logged

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 can only easily identify two of them, so feel entitled to push in (but sorry anyway)!

I don't believe it!  (to quote Victor Meldrew).  Shocked

That's the second time in a week or so that I've failed to identify Severn Beach.  Embarrassed
