Hi All.

As part of my site (iworkforfgw.com) I am looking to do pages on each station of the FGW (First Great Western) Network. What I am looking for is if any of the members on here as a picture of their local station, or any station on the network, and this can be included on the appropriate page, credited to the image taker.

Also if you could do a brief paragraph on the station such as what you think of it?

Any questions? Pictures? And paragraphs to: ollie@iworkforfgw.com

Much appreciated.

Can do worcester shrub hill - but I think that may be a london midland station these days

If you want shrub, do you want the frontage or the platforms

And is a 3mp phone camera an acceptable image

I should have made it clearer, if it's a station served by FGW (First Great Western) I would like a picture of it, preferably of main entrance, but platforms are fine.

Thanks Smiley
