Looks vaguely familiar - have they had a big station improvement programme recently?

6. can only be Melksham, simply because of the plethora of dodgy characters - all appearing in the same picture!  Shocked Roll Eyes Grin

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.
