For a while there has been a TransWilts poster by the new lift to the top car park at Swindon Station.  Recently it disappeared.

On Friday night I discovered there is now one by the gateline.



It isn't the best place as during the day the gateline staff are likely to be standing in front of it.

I also noticed around the station there were three out of date posters for the Cheltenham Racing Festival and three for the Swindon Retro Festival.

Obviously some spaces are reserved for paid adverts but should we be pressing/requesting/seeking a better place for our artwork?

Yes.  Shocked

Who is the First Great Western station manager for Swindon?

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.

We (collectively) need to have a discussion with her about the poster case content situation, then - not just the TransWilts one, but the other out-of-date ones, as a constructive proposal to improve things.  Lips sealed

Thinking aloud, we also need to decide what to put on a TW poster given the planned disruptions over the summer. (10 out of 10 for stating the obvious there!)  Grin
