Title: Anyone regularly use Bristol Parkway?
Post by: vacmanfan on February 12, 2013, 23:50:39
I need a forum member who regularly uses BPW 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.  ::) ;D

Not just at Bristol Parkway btw, also found at Bath Spa and Swindon at least and possibly more.

Thanks, I don't go through that way very much. Again, any pics would be helpful.

Happy to oblige later today. Do you want them all A to H?

And may I ask why?  ;)

I'll PM you.  Just one is suffice.  Many thanks.

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.  ;)

Many thanks - it is much appreciated.

I hope you didn't go out of your way.

'Twas on my way home.

Bailed southbound at BPW 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!
