 I have probably got all of the above wrong ... some laughably so.  But then I can usually only get 3 or 4 of the BNM quizzes right ...


No - not all wrong!  No 4 is correct  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.

The very same! I remember the numerous photographic stops with enthusiasts swarming all over the tracks and not a hi-vis anywhere in sight. Wonderful times  Cheesy
