Thanks for your post, ChrisB: I've now merged infoman's topic into this existing one - purely in the interests of clarity and continuity.  Smiley

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.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.

Can't for the life of me find what I recall was a specific thread on 'pubs near stations', but for information Castle  Brewery have opened a new cellar door style outlet for their outstanding range of ales.

Just behind the old livestock dock,, 'up' side of Lostwithiel Station.
