Maybe time to change that artwork. What with Brighton no longer being served directly from Reading!

Whereabouts is the mural/poster at Reading?

It's one of a series in the subway. I have a picture of each one squirrelled away on a memory card somewhere. I'll see if I can locate them.....

....I'll wait until this quiz is completed though.

if you use the subway you will notice them :)

That will be why then. Always use escalators/lifts. Not used subway since they closed the exit at the Red Star Parcels end!

1. Going by the clue and the fact it has a Platform 4, I'm guessing Twyford?  Not a station that I've ever stopped at...

It is Polsloe Bridge yeah. Wondered if anyone was gonna ask about my unofficial lost property trip - considering the complaints lost property gets on here :P

1. Going by the clue and the fact it has a Platform 4, I'm guessing Twyford?  Not a station that I've ever stopped at...
Yep spot on - only took the picture as it was the first new CIS to be put on the platform.

6.  Polegate.  :P :-[ ::)
Yes that is indeed correct.

...and seeing as the quiz is now complete, here's the rest of the murals from the subway at Reading:-

(http://i598.photobucket.com/albums/tt68/bignosemac/RDG1.jpg)

The second to last one is slightly wrongly named - a 'Prince Albert' is something entirely different to Brunel's Royal Albert Bridge!!!  :o ;) ;D

Now, tell us Ollie about this unofficial lost property trip.....
