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.

Wow Grahame correct, found this by chance after travelling on the cog tram up the mountain. Missed the steam train but caught this around the Mountain to the other terminus which I cant even spell.

It was a great litttle train ride will do it again if I get the chance.

Single line ... pylon in the distance ... access close to the track ... somewhere you might have taken your dog for a walk?

No ... you're on - SPOT on - actually!   Been a long and slightly silly day and we're on the "lighter side" here.   We've got a few spare pylons if you would likkkk  ssssoooo... oh - no, you don't want any.

There's the most massive electric substation north of Melksham - wires coming in from all over the place, and yet virtually ignore it.  I was out walking today with a gent who's an official who helps look after footpaths over a wide area, and I learned so much from him.

Sorry - I'm rambling.  Or was ...  Cheesy
