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.

Somebody under a train by the look of it

Although I do have to question....

"Train services running through this station may be cancelled or delayed by up to 30 mins at short notice"

I'd be worried if anything did run THROUGH Paddington

I thought the same as Mookiemoo.. I wondered how trains might ever run through Paddington and would hope they never do.. I was at Paddington at 7.15pm and didn't notice anything so I assume it was all sorted out by then (although still no thru trains  Roll Eyes)  Grin
