Whoops!

- from Darlington's page - anyone recognise him?!

Our intrepid photographer seem to enjoy appearing in his own photos. Either that or a strange fetish for toilets!

Bath Spa:

Fort William:

Brighton:

Bloody hell! Has it really been the same bloke going to every station in the country? I hope us taxpayers haven't paid for his fares!

I wonder which is the most rural/isolated on the FGW^▸ network?

As well as Coombe Junction Halt and Pilning, I would throw the following into the mix:

Take away an "o" from Coombe and waddya get?...

Why dont we come up with a few more suggestions and have a poll?

Depends how we decide isolated. Isolated from a centre of population or isolated from the wider rail network?

If it's the former then maybe Kings Nympton, 2.5 miles from the village of the same name, although it is closer (0.9 miles) to the hamlet of Elstone.

If the latter then it has to be Pilning with its 2 services a week.

He seems to like the toilets at Bath Spa as he has got a smile on his face as he's taking the picture. Sorry ladies but I suspect that all the pictures on the National Rail site will only be of the Gents for obvious reasons if this guy was responsible for taking pictures of every station toilet in Britain. I suspect some won't be appearing on the website because they are in such a state.

Hope there's more than one sink in the gents at Brighton station!

Hmm. Just because things are 'in a bit of a state' doesn't seem to stop NR^» from cheerfully publishing details on their site: see http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/stations/sjp/FIT/objectvalues/1838-0000025.html Wink

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.

Oh my gosh!!!! Shocked

I cannot believe they have posted that picture. Still better than not showing one at all which is still the case at Oldfield Park...just an empty shelter remains where the ticket machine once stood.

Smallbrook Junction

I really should have known that, seeing as I've even been there...

There are plenty of pictures of ladies toilets, but I've yet to find one with a reflected image of our intrepid photographer. Oh, and I've only been looking at ladies toilets for research purposes!

And the sink at Brighton was in the baby changing area of the 'Male Accessible Toilet'. There are more sinks in the toilet block.
