And both of these stations handle between quarter and half a million passenger journeys per year ...

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.

I don't know where no.1 is but my initial impression was that this had to be a station served by a Thames valley train on the basis that it had dynamic lines. I thought only High speed and LTV (London [and] Thames Valley) FGW (First Great Western) trains have that?

However... the next photo shot in Leeds also has a train with dynamic lines so I suspect the first photo is in the same locality

Or the same TOC (Train Operating Company)?

Two pictures taken ... 10 minutes or so earlier than no.1 (of the same train) and a couple of minutes later than no. 3 (at the same station)

OK ... those two remaining are darned difficult.   Anagram time ... or rather list of letters in names.

1. [' ', 'a', 'a', 'd', 'd', 'e', 'h', 'l', 'm', 'o', 'r', 't', 'u']

3. ['a', 'a', 'b', 'c', 'e', 'e', 'h', 'r', 't', 'w']

Indeed - Mauldeth Road, first station on the line towards Manchester Airport;  half hourly service from Northern Rail, but with additional peak hour stops by TransPennine Express. I was up there a couple of weeks back now - attending a bus event at Ardwick Green and stayed in a 'hotel' on the Wilmslow Road the night before.

And Waterbeach - first station (at the moment) to the north of Cambridge. There's an intermediate station due to be opened to serve the science park / business park area, as at present Cambridge is too far south and Waterbeach is too far north.
