I need a forum member who regularly uses BPW» (Bristol Parkway - next trains) to do me a favour....  They have the coach letters on signs in the same design as found on the side of the coaches which are clamped onto the lamposts.  A picture or two would be REALLY helpful...

Thanks.

I know exactly which signs you mean, vacmanfan - but, unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of them.  Roll Eyes Grin

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.

And may I ask why?  Wink

Can be lifted from here by right clicking and saving.

vacmanfan, if you want a larger resolution I can oblige. Just drop me another PM with an email address.

By the way, these signs are made in Bristol.  Wink

'Twas on my way home.

Bailed southbound at BPW» (Bristol Parkway - next trains) and got the bus. An alternative I often take rather than Temple Meads then train to Shirehampton.

Did get a funny look from the dispatcher while I was taking the pic though!
