Hidden in the puzzle above are 20 three letter codes. Start anywhere and read horizontal, vertical or diagonal, forwards or sdrawkcab. How many can you spot, and how many of them have you visited? With the help of Cato and Rasmus, I can identify the 20, I have visited 7 to get on or off a train, and I have passed through the majority - just one I am in doubt about.

Things take longer to happen than you think they will, and then they happen faster than you thought they could.

Right then, I’ll set the ball rolling by mixing my metaphors and picking some low-hanging fruit:
ASH = Ash, Surrey. I haven’t visited!

STR: Stranraer - never visited.
There is most definitely no CHO where most of my rail journeys start and finish!

BSK▸ is Basingstoke; I’ve made many journeys starting from there, and at other times changed trains.

Ingatestone - INT, row 2. One I've been through quite often (but never, I think, got off at by mistake for Chelmsford).

Duke Street (Glasgow) - DST
During my early working life I lived for several years close(ish) to Glasgow but never used this station.

William Huskisson MP▸ 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.
