William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament) 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.

Departures from Paddington at around 17:00 today seemed busier than usual, presumably due to the looming Tube strike this evening, so I'd imagine that the reductions in these train sizes probably made things very cosy indeed!
