Err..., that's the whole point of the question (the answer of which was got 3 posts into the thread).
Oh dear. I realise that! It's just that people just brushed off the poster and started discussing headlamps and socks! I won't to knwo what it's doing there.... What it is doing there is telling folks about buying tickets. Why it is not an Arriva poster, I've no idea. All the other rail info posters at Llandrindod were Arriva. |

I often wonder whether journos just type 'train picture' into Google Images and then just click on a thumbnail at random. |

A few years back the MoD produced a wall calendar with a lovely photograph of a US Navy submarine on it !

Thing is though - if I were reading the article in a paper rather than looking for somthing wrong in the picture - I would probably just vaguely register "train picture" rather than the details But then I'm not a visual person (hence the reason I have been cotswolding for years and still would not recognise probably half the major "pictures" if they were taken out of context. On a journey home, I can look up and pretty much know where I am - but take that snapshot and present it to me......... |

Now, are we talking of printed posters or of forum members who post regularly about London Midland??   |

As we're posting here, in 'The Lighter Side', I think it's fair to point out that some rather odd posters (of the paper kind!) can appear at stations (or on trains) sometimes - and perhaps some rather odd pictures can be used, by hard-pressed journalists, to illustrate their stories. Hopefully, it shows that we can be amused by such anomolies, without getting over-exercised about them. By the way, how about the dodgy typo's in this 'official' FGW▸ poster, at Bristol Temple Meads?  Hmm: 'abandoned' they apparently amended, with correcting fluid - but 'illegaly' ??  |

William Huskisson MP▸ 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.

Actually for me the stand out other than the tippex was not the illegally but the use of "cycles" everywhere except for one use of the word "bike" Bad, very bad! |

Yes, I'm always amused by anomolies (sic), and there are a lot in that poster (and by that poster ), aren't there Chris? |
