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.

There was also the quite shocking tale about Old Sarum and his rather unhealthy interest in Maiden Castle - but, perhaps fortunately, nothing came of that.  Lips sealed

'This getting very unnecessarily 'hetero' in content' complained residents of Queen Camel,  and echoed by those from Indian Queens.
