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.

And snow too up here in the Cotswolds. The Cotswold Line is still running, but the A44 is already shut at Fish Hill, above Broadway.

Thanks, willc!

It's snowing here in Nailsea, too - and we're down at only a bit above sea level!  It looks less than promising for travel tomorrow!
