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

24.  Severn Beach.
Logged

William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament) 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.
