Spurred on by Graham's quiz and comment

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

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

The two photos from the quiz





..and some of mine after 14 journeys on that unit since 2013

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.

What to take more photos?   My excellent filing system found the photos without moving from my office chair!  Grin

I think the point is that he does - to get pictures of that particular unit everywhere from Chysauster to Durocornovium
