2.  Taunton.  Tongue
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.

Hmm.  Lips sealed

I disagree: different stonework and different alignment?

My own feeling was that it could be the disused part of the Kemble branch line - but I don't think it's that, either.  Roll Eyes

Good shout, Timmer!

I wasn't convinced initially, but looking at it, you're right.

I'm hopeless at these picture quiz topics.  Roll Eyes
