    GCR 'Cromwell Pullman'

    Got to throw in this. Personally it never bothered me. It looks good, brings in monies to keep other things going and the railway seems to be going from strength to strength! I never really understood people getting overly fussy about liveries and stuff. Although I've yet to partake of...

    Trolling

    Clip sums it up perfectly for me. However no one is truly 'anonymous' on the internets and should someone put enough effort your real identity could be found.

    Halfords 'We Fit' lorry gets stuck under bridge

    We got hit twice in the same year (2014) Previous to that I can't think of *any* Now the bridge has 5ft high signage... so far so good... But it does seem more wide-spread! JW
