Something to do with the Sleeper?  Undecided

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.

Nothing to do with Trains, what I'm on about is static, well almost static if you want to be clever.

There is a clue to the location.

Sounds like the painting at Redruth. Was red to start with then got a coat of FGW▸ (First Great Western) blue but then had to be put back to red as it's a listed site.

Old Original hits the Nail on the Head.

For 48 hours REDruth was painted in FGW▸ (First Great Western) Colours before, being repainted Red!
