I'm pretty sure I recognise that ... having spent many nights in hotels nearby. But I won't give the game away.  It's not exactly Templecombe Central!

Correct! A station I've always wanted to visit so we pulled in en route to our holiday accommodation in Ayr.

Finn is so patient, taking selfies of himself everywhere ...  Grin

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.
