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.

Is there an extra point for noting 150 246 features in two photos (and I know both locations)?

Also doubles from 165 126 and 166 210.

I noticed that as I was preparing the quiz ... but didn't have enough to do a "life and travels of 150 246" quiz.
