Now, I know I've publicised quite a few pictures here, featuring some rather odd spelling in FGW▸ posters, but while they continue to catch my eye, I shall continue to do so.  Here's the latest example - but, just to make this a real challenge (rather than just pointing out the bleeding obvious typographical error!) - can anyone identify the FGW station ticket office in which I took this particular picture?  |

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.

Not really a typo but amused me.  |

I do not work for FGW▸ and posts should not be assumed and do not imply they are statements, unless explicitly stated that they are, from any TOC▸ including First Great Western.

That's a new one on me - demanding that all pushchairs be folded (incidentally, what's the difference between a pushchair and a buggy? I thought they were synonymous so there's another error!) in a ticket office? I can see why, if there's limited space, things could get crowded, but given the trouble bus drivers have asking pushchair users to fold them if there's a wheelchair user on-board I can't see too many parents acceding to that request!

Not a typo either. But can anyone tell me what is wrong with this picture for the Club 55 Advert??  |

The stylised Turbostar's windscreen is the wrong way round. The larger window should be on the right. (Left-hand side from drivers POV)

Correct BNM  But also, is it worth noting that FGW▸ don't operate Turbostars?! Making the poster looking like they advertise a train that they don't even operate...?? Or am I being really picky again...??  |

Yes, picky. Club 55 is offered across all First Group TOCs▸ , so that could be a TransPennine Express or ScotRail Turbostar. |

Not quite as bad as one of the early FGW▸ magazines which was talking about Swindon Steam and had a Southern loco at the top.
Not Southern UK▸ eg a MN/WC▸ but a Southern USA pacific!
The perils of clip art to uninitiated.

There's a steam loco that's a very good likeness of an LNER» B1 that must be in clipart somewhere, because it makes pretty frequent appearences on anything train-related too.

Hmm. The trouble is, I can't think of a clue that wouldn't give it away immediately! It's at a station where a rogue 'e' sometimes appears, in the name of the town itself.  |

Yeas! (The poster is to the right of the door from the ticket office onto the platform.) |
