William Huskisson MP^▸ 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.

1. Going by the clue and the fact it has a Platform 4, I'm guessing Twyford? Not a station that I've ever stopped at...

Yep spot on - only took the picture as it was the first new CIS^▸ to be put on the platform.

...and seeing as the quiz is now complete, here's the rest of the murals from the subway at Reading:-

The second to last one is slightly wrongly named - a 'Prince Albert' is something entirely different to Brunel's Royal Albert Bridge!!! Shocked

Now, tell us Ollie about this unofficial lost property trip.....
