Title: Welsh Stations Post by: TJ on January 22, 2017, 01:15:59 To help me with a quiz that I am compiling is anyone aware of a station in Wales that has a statue, monument or plaque somewhere on the platforms.
Any information would be gratefully received. TJ Title: Re: Welsh Stations Post by: JayMac on January 22, 2017, 02:11:40 There's this set into the down platform at Llandrindod Wells:
