To be honest, I did get Chippenham straight away, and then Taunton (having refreshed my memory simply by being there earlier today!), but I don't know the others.  Roll Eyes

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.

Well I'm going to be really fussy here because the question is can you identify all four locations (please) so:
1. Chippenham
2. Taunton
3. Westbury
4. Pilning

That's rather annoying, because on my first viewing of this topic, I was about 90% sure 3 was Westbury.  But I had no idea about 4.  Roll Eyes

Only problem would be that (ret'd) could easily mean something else  Wink
