Youtube travel vlogger Paul Stewart's Noel Philips' most recent video (06/04/2025) saw him fly from Houston, TX to Manchester, UK▸ (United Kingdom) for a kebab! Straight back to the US the same day.

He was also commemorating the final Singapore Airlines direct flight between those two airports.

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.
