I thought you had to keep your luggage with you at all times...  ;)

Love it ... perhaps this inspires a thread on silly things on displays.    What's wrong with my attachment here?

Presumably it was not displayed in a Class 158 unit!

Correct - a class 153 with aspirations!

That's some aspiration!

I don't know. If it gets enough water enough it could grow into something like a Class 800.  :)

Cold shower on the train journey into work, anyone?  ;D

I doubt whether anybody will guess on which train this display appeared in early June 2013.........

Taunton? ???

There is a joke Facebook group, ‘trains seen in Cornwall’ started recently.

Every post title is 158***, And every photo is titled in Cornwall, reality is very few are 158s or Cornwall. It apparently started as a running joke between some local railway men. A few spotters have got angry not understanding the joke, with comments like ‘this isn’t a 158’.

I do wonder if someone behind the Facebook page is behind this picture.

It’s 153333 I believe if it was a photo comp to guess the unit.

They may be behind the setting up of the display - but it's a real picture that I took on the TransWilts between Swindon and Chippenham at 17:36 on Saturday, 18th November 2017.

I know it’s a real pic.... I’ve been on 153333 recently with that same display.

The aforementioned parody Facebook group is here.... https://m.facebook.com/groups/259391961253607

I remember a Thames-era Turbo running around with the two-line cab front display showing its usual

     SORRY
     OUT OF SERVICE

...except that the second line wasn't functioning. So this poor train was just running around saying "SORRY".

That message is telling you to keep luggage with at all times...unless of course the clock has frozen ;)
