Title: The iphone apps promoting FGW trains......... sort of Post by: Mookiemoo on May 15, 2009, 21:30:37 Ok totally trivial but I finally got the insurance company to replace my iphone
There is an app called stations - which finds your nearest station. Of course I had to download it as its free Its icon, is......... a refurbed FGW train/power car although which station it is at I have no idea! May I should make this a quiz - if anyone has itunes, go into apps, look for station and see if they can identify it!

Having free apps will undermine their income. So they'll have a monopoly - and will be charging a criminal price.
