My usual random assortment, most from around FGW▸ (First Great Western) land, with a few, out of area, curve balls. As there are two dozen I'll allow two guesses each for the first 24 hours. If informed of incorrect guess(es) I'll let you have another go.

13.  Brockenhurst (without the Renault Clio parked on the tracks!).

24.  Severn Beach.
Logged
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.
