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.

I think I recognise the station approach in a cathedral city.  Agreed not Taunton - no cathedral there.

Worcester Shrub Hill
Yes I mainly took the picture to highlight that there where empty car park spaces at 11am on a Tuesday morning. Parking is very limited. There where about 30 cars at Worcestershire parkway.

The first time I emerged from the main entrance to Shrub hill the office block had not been built. That was moving from Yorkshire in the early 60s
