Exactly! Someone with a sense of humour on the railway, finally ...

I love that map WV "Reading to London via Surbiton" doesn't actually have Reading on it anywhere.

Similarly, Derby and Nottingham are conspicuous in their absense from map XA "Derby, Nottingham and South Yorkshire".

I guess you were the first...?

Is this the new FGW drivers' uniform, by the way?

Well, they're unlikely to keep the GW franchise now, so we may get something like this.

And the new Great Western Franchise goes to ... Lorna Jane!

Which, in case you didn't know, is my wife's name!

What a co-incidence! Well, I'm sure she'd do a great job running both an underwear company and a railway company. With several disciplines, perhaps she's taking after Richard Branson ...

However, if Richard Branson were to get the GW franchise, you may have 'Virgin' on your new 'uniform'...

[tubeguru]

If Virgin were to win the GW franchise, it would indeed be miraculous given that they didn't bid for it ...

[RobbieM]

Just as well! That'll be a relief for you (and those underpants...)

Just found this crazy example. I like it, it starts with a walk from 2 stations sharing a placename, ends with a walk from 2 stations sharing a placename and has a walk from 2 stations sharing a placename in the middle.
