Thanks, Tom!

I haven't the faintest idea where that might be, but I do notice there aren't any trip hazards installed at the ends of either of those platforms?  Shocked Roll Eyes



Surely these are a Health and Safety requirement now??  Shocked

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.

Trip hazards?

Requirement?

Our way of ensuring that people don't do it a second time is getting zapped by the third rail!

(no, they're not H&S▸ (Health and Safety) requirements)

As no-one has posted replies, the first picture, easier to say where it isn't.

Upwey.
Southampton - Portsmouth.

Therefore it's on the Brighton line.
2nd picture easy, downside at Nailsea facing Weston.

It's not between Southampton and Portsmouth? Blimey, it must have moved since I took that photo then...
