Hmm.

Roll Eyes

'Her indoors' (my wife) would no doubt opt for Whitechapel Road - she loves all those TV shock thrillers related to the Ripper murders.

I would go for Marlborough Street (the main bus station): I used to have to deliver there, and it was a nightmare, trying to find somewhere to (legally) park my van.

My reference relates specifically to Bristol, by the way. Wink

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.
