I was surprised to see that GWR was as high as third.

I have a great jigsaw based on that 1948 picture of Waterloo Station. It's in two halves, one featuring that picture, the other the same scene during the Second World War, with people in the same poses in uniform and that column of bearskinned soldiers in khaki.

(Assembling both pairs of clocks can be challenging.)

Spoiler alert - GWR are 3rd (best).
