I note with interest that FGW appear to have started issuing new-style "Building a Greater West" ticket wallets, and that they apparently come in different designs.

I have noticed two different versions. Does anyone know how many there are altogether?

Added a Network Card to my collection yesterday, which came in a grey/yellow case, with Brunel's mug on it.

Damn sight bigger than my previous one which was the blue one with the pink 'Great Westerner' button thingy.

Looks like there are at least five. I also have three now but two of them are different from your three.

Aside from asking someone else, how does one get these wallets? I only ever get the boring 'National Rail' ones...

Ta.

Ask at stations, but be prepared that some of them may say no, and some of them may just give you boring ones.

Some forum members have also had some success writing to customer service departments, but YMMV.

Assuming you get someone friendly, and who doesn't make you show them your old one to check how worn it is before they will give you one, are they in stock at Paddington ticket office?

The photo on the top one is in fact the same as the bottom, only taken in January.

:lol: Good one.

Yes, they seem relatively generous at Paddington as I got some of these there.
