Definitely not a terminus for CrossCountry though.

Quote from: onthecushions on December 13, 2010, 17:22:35 I'm continually surprised how much of the news in the UK^▸ (United Kingdom) centres on silliness and stupidity. Default setting for journalists perhaps?

There is another one.....(actually I can think of three more FGW^▸ (First Great Western) 'termini' that are through stations for other operators, but the artwork in pic 20 is only at one of them!)

Maybe a freak whirlwind will pick you up and dump you in strange land populated by bumpkins. AKA^▸ (also known as) West Somerset.

13506	Sideshoots - associated subjects / The Lighter Side / Re: New images ... what can you spot.	on: December 11, 2010, 23:04:35
Apart from the obligatory Melksham one, Number 3 is the only one I'm certain of!! Well, I was with Graham the day he took it.

Agreed. 'victim' was probably the wrong choice of word. Although the culprit was a victim of his own stupidity. A perfect candidate for a Darwin Award.

13508	All across the Great Western territory / Fare's Fair / Re: Season tickets from stations in and around Bristol only valid via Salisbury?	on: December 11, 2010, 12:08:48
There is no 'Bristol Stations' as a ticket origin or destination. If you are referring to 'Bristol Group' stations as used for routeing permissions then this only includes; Bristol TM^‡(resolve), Bristol PW^▸ (Permanent Way), Filton, Stapleton Rd, Lawrence Hill.

13509	All across the Great Western territory / The Wider Picture in the United Kingdom / Re: Cable / copper / metal theft - ongoing problems on the railways and elsewhere	on: December 11, 2010, 12:03:34
Very little sympathy for the victim or those that witnessed his death.

13510	All across the Great Western territory / Fare's Fair / Re: Season tickets from stations in and around Bristol only valid via Salisbury?	on: December 10, 2010, 19:11:12
I understand there were, or are, formulas for creating seasons tickets for flows where no season exists. Whether this is still possible or if booking clerks can do it is another matter though. If there is still a formula then I'd assume a Shirehampton - London Terminals (Any Permitted) Season would be the same price as a Bristol - London Terminals one. The 'Anytime' fares are the same.

13511	Sideshoots - associated subjects / The Lighter Side / Re: Rail Software	on: December 10, 2010, 18:50:36
Yes please! Do you want my address?

13512	All across the Great Western territory / Fare's Fair / Season tickets from stations in and around Bristol only valid via Salisbury?	on: December 10, 2010, 14:18:59
Can anyone explain to me why stations on the Severn Beach Line, Bedminster, Parson Street and Patchway only have season tickets available to London via Warminster/Salisbury? Seem a bit odd that FGW^▸ (First Great Western) don't offer an alternative to the SWT^▸ (South West Trains) priced product, forcing people to either travel from Temple Meads, Parkway and Filton or buy two seasons.

Quote from: Bob_Blakey on December 09, 2010, 19:19:30 No.20 might be the refurbished Waiting Room on P5 at EXD^» (Exeter St Davids - next trains). Sorry, no. To reiterate and add to the clue for no. 20. The artwork can be found in the waiting room at a FGW^▸ (First Great Western) terminus. However it is not a terminus for the other operators who use this particular station.

Rather that confuse us all with maths (well, I'm confused!), how about this:
