Got to say well done to FGW^▸ for acting so quickly on this - looks like it had all cleared up by the time I got to Paddington from work near Liverpool Street (no thanks to waiting an age for the correct Underground train!)

See also the Ealing Broadway Fatality topic, where this is discussed further.

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.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.
