William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) 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.

Fair comment: my journey home, too, was a real pain tonight - but not even Andrew Haines can be blamed for the weather we've had over the past 24 hours!  Grin
