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.

(There's nothing worse that a pedantic administrator ... ) Picture was taken in Dartmouth Station. > There's nothing worse that a pedantic administrator ... Hmmm ... I think I prefer a pedantic admin to getting someone else's gum stuck to the bottom of my shoes, but I guess there's no accounting for taste |

Thanks, grahame! Actually, on a slightly more serious note: Dartmouth Station is quite interesting, for various rather odd reasons: see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dartmouth_railway_station  |

No. 5, yes, is Paignton
No. 1, sorry - not Salisbury
And Dartmouth Station is indeed interesting. Can anyone tell me when a train last called there?

Um.... never? Plenty of connecting ferries though! Up until 30th December 1972, according to Wikipedia. The passenger ferry now calls at a pontoon further down river. |
