I suppose I could have recognised 23. Given that I’m in the picture.

Along the right lines - but neither or those is the correct location

Yes - that's correct

Ah, yes, my mistake, I thought that all the wooden fence had been removed..... although I think that can't be far off now.

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.

Good thought, but, no. I have been slow in following up here - busy day doing an IT consultancy day to do with historic data .... it's the museum at Kidderminster Town - RobT got in right earlier.

As did The Tall Controller for Bodmin Road Parkway and Chris from Nailsea for Newquay.

Just No. 13 left.
