Mr Seagal?

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.

3 is Aberystwyth and 5 is indeed Betws-y-Coed, well done. Just 4 to get.....

The pics cover a south to north journey entirely by rail (overnight stop in Aberystwyth) and Mr Seagull was at my most northerly destination......
