Enjoying the simple architecture, the quiet places and the magnificent mountains as I took the train to the end of the line.  Wait - that is not Lymington! Anyone able to place any of those pictures?

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.
