I just noticed that we have 12 members with "Western...." handles.
What Western handle would you choose, and why? (Sounds like a question for the guy to ask on "Take me Out")
I suspect I might choose "Western Campaigner" or "Western Partnership" ... others such as "Western Cynic" and "Western Passenger" remain available.

I'd have to go for Western Campaigner too. Not because I am one, but because D1010 is the only one whose cab I've sat in and ridden behind.

Given my enjoyment for global 'Madventures', I must choose D1002 'Western Explorer'.
I think grahame is more D1055 'Western Advocate'

I have family links to the West Country and make annual forays to the far west, so feel the best I could claim to be is "Western Imposter"

With my birthplace being in Plaistow, I could only credibly have "West Hammer" as my handle. At least, as with our railways, a bit of inexplicable hope is required.

Western Super Mare
Due to my home, and the fact many publications still spell it this way

In that case, given where I was born, it has to be Western Avenue (A40 to close firends). |

Originating as a southern Hampshire and West Sussex youngster, probably South Western.

If it's on origins, it would have to be London North Western.  |

Enterprise it has to be...
As in what an enterprise the GWR▸ was.
Different in many respects to all the other railway companies through the ages....

As my father's family left the west country for Berkshire in the 19th century, the best I could do would be "Western Ancestors"

Coming from Reading, as one does, I nearly chose Western Elms Avenue,  but it's the other side of town... |
