I don't think it'll be trash TV at all - With Jon Snow & a serious mathematician, it'll be geeky - how trains are pathed & timed, etc....

No, you weren't: I've just done exactly the same.  Embarrassed

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.

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

July according to Didcot's FB page. No doubt there'll be further publicity nearer the time.
