Bit tenuous this one, and not exactly difficult - it's within 500m of a railway, but that's kinda not the point:

Yes agreed! Good to see they have finally got 216 under cover. I hope to visit soon and remember my supersonic flight on her.

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.

Yup, Aerospace Bristol -. We went to the preview day; it opens properly on 17 Oct 2017.

This being a rail forum, perhaps I should have used this image:



...but I was worried I might confuse people with the mind-bending combination of concepts that is a Bristol Tram, and in South Glos to boot. It's a real one, by the way - a horse-drawn example. It could do with wheels, in my opinion, and the other side could do with a lick of paint...
