Title: Unusual lost propery in Melksham Post by: bobm on April 16, 2014, 20:55:48 Was on the platform at Melksham awaiting the 19:47 to Swindon last night when I noted something on the bench
(http://www.mbob.co.uk/rforum/melk1604.jpg) On closer examination, it turned out to be a pair of suit trousers (http://www.mbob.co.uk/rforum/melk21604.jpg) Unfortunately there was no-one to hand them in to - but one wonders how the owner got home without noticing they were missing them.... ;D Title: Re: Unusual lost propery in Melksham Post by: Red Squirrel on April 16, 2014, 22:26:07 I wonder: Could it be part of a modern-day re-enactment of Operation Cerulean Trouser?

Quote Re: Unusual lost propery in Melksham Indeed. It's usually female's clothes that are left at Melksham Station. We've had several instances. I suspect this is quite common - people open their suitcase / pack to get something out at the station,and drop an article of clothing.

Didn't notice the glove first time I looked at the pic. ;D Title: Re: Unusual lost propery in Melksham Post by: JayMac on April 16, 2014, 23:27:44 Indeed.

I suspect this is quite common - people open their suitcase / pack to get something out at the station,and drop an article of clothing. That's the innocent explanation. Many other reasons for attire to be abandoned... :P This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
