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.

1. Correct. devon_metro.

That temporary footbridge is a nice canvas for spray can toting scrotes isn't it? I predict further graffiti in the coming weeks.

Depends where you live ... if you provide a telephone answering service in Penrith, there could be some clever puns out there!

7. 6:56?  To commemorate the year the station was opened (1856).

7. Close enough Brucey, the text actually says '18:56', even though the clock is analogue. I too, like blakey, think it is a bit cheeky to have this message rather than fix the clock. That said, the other one on the opposite wall still works.

Would be nice if Boney Parts had a departures screen as well.
