Can you tell me where each of these was taken, and tell me which is the odd one out and why (i.e. what the other three have in common)?









I give this five minutes!

Two is indeed the odd one out, and indeed there is no regular HST service there ... but what do the others have very much in common / where did I take the pictures?

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.
