Catalogue of "Items displayed on station platforms on the national rail system".

Vending machines excluded... I'm not sure if this would be a large catalogue or just a brief list.
Subcategories? Extra points should be awarded if the item was/is in a glass case.

More extra points if the item solicits donations via a coin in a slot.

And yet more extra points if a switch / coin in the slot causes something to light up or move.

The winners: the exhibits that survive at the present day as well as attracting the most points.

What do all those lamps on the front mean?

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.
