... and finally:

As my quiz pictures have all been answered correctly, I'd just like to offer my thanks to my travelling companion, on my 'grand day out' last Thursday.

We went from Bristol Temple Meads to Falmouth Docks, on FGW▸ (First Great Western) trains - I'd like to offer our thanks to the various staff we met on our route, who were all very professional and friendly.  (And, no: I'm not just saying that!)

Just in case you haven't made the connection, by the way: my travelling companion that day has also posted some quiz pictures from our journey.

Thanks, Ollie!  Grin

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.

Just out of interest, the railings are replacements, getting rid of the ones with the nasty spiked tops.
Glad to hear you had a nice day out to Falmouth!  Wink

And the railings with the Nasty Spiked tops were only installed in the past few years. I'd say about 1998-2000

More to the point NR» (Network Rail - home page) STILL install spiked fences. 
Great when some Child climbs a tree and foolishly falls out.
Now whats that about NR being OTT▸ (Open Train Times website, or possibly 'over the top', depending on context) with Safety.
