Just heard on the local Beeb that GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) are running a "Spot the Station" quiz on Twitter.

It would quite possibly have been, had I been able to log in to Twitter.  I can't, so it wasn't.

It wasn't Nailsea & B(l)ackwell, by any chance, was it?   Wink Cheesy Grin

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.
