From GOV.UK▸ (United Kingdom) - "Discover connectivity in your local area".

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.

This DfT» (Department for Transport - about) tool... does it capture the basics of connectivity? (Which I'd suggest being able to name two localities and reveal data that shows how well said two places are connected using various travel modes. After which it might be able to bring enhancements into the equation such as 'If we added this, what would be the improvement and how big a population would benefit?')
