Thanks for discovering that little gem, Courtenay. really interesting.Courtenay wrote:Just noticed there's another video by GWR that I didn't watch before — I'm not sure if anyone posted the link (sorry if someone did and I missed it).
The GWR network goes as far north as Worcester Shrub Hill/Foregate Street stations, so although relatively close to you in the ITV Midlands region they have probably restricted it to London/Meridian/Westcountry/Wales ITV stations where the GWR network is more prolific.Rob wrote:Its a shame we never see the advert on TV...at least, I haven't. I think it must only be being shown regionally.
There isn't a lot of GWR in the Meridian region, but GWR does run a Cardiff-Portsmouth hourly service and a daily (twice daily?) Bristol to Brighton service.Rob wrote:I think its only being shown in the GWR region.
Do you think the weather might improve if its sponsors gave it a little more money??Moonraker wrote:Watching Meridian Tonight, last night, I was surprised to see the local weather is now sponsored by GWR. It had previously been sponsored by Le Shuttle for many years.
Well, the GWR certainly doesn't go much further - north of Worcester, that is!Rob Houghton wrote:North of Gloucester, the Famous Five might just as well not exist!
I like it.Moonraker wrote:Mind you, if the weather forecast ran on similar lines (pun intended!) to their railway, you'd expect this announcement:
"Great Western Railway apologises for the delayed arrival of sunshine. This is due to the wrong sort of cloud," and "Great Western Railway apologises that summer has been cancelled. Your ticket is valid on other weather conditions."
Nigel, didn't the GWR once run through trains to Birkenhead from Paddington?Moonraker wrote:Well, the GWR certainly doesn't go much further - north of Worcester, that is!Rob Houghton wrote:North of Gloucester, the Famous Five might just as well not exist!
