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.

I've not entirely convinced myself, as it's not a station with which I'm familiar, but is the last image in that clip London King's Cross?

Far from King's Cross, but there is a direct service available.
