Two for one offers with train tickets to London



Here's a handy offer. Travel to London on GWR (Great Western Railway) from as far away as Fishguard in Wales, and book two for the price of one tickets to London attractions.

Such as? Houses, palaces, museums, sport and recreation, wining and dining, theatre and shows, tours and walks.

If you are a new tourist to London, they have included all the classics you will want to visit, such as Madame Tussaud's, The Eye (big wheel), famous people such as Dr Johnson, Samuel Johnson who compiled the dictionary, Florence Nightingale, the nurse nicknamed The Lady with the Lamp, who founded modern nursing.

If you have already done London, or live in London, you will still be interested to read the brochure full of new and surprising attractions, such as, Red Arrows 3D flight simulator,Legend of Apollo, at the Science Museum, based on the lunar landings in the 1960s and 1970s.

Something for the oldest and youngest.

While waiting for trains in Singapore, let your eyes explore the advertising


Problem
You stand waiting for a train in Singapore - never more than six minutes, mostly 2-4 minutes. Meanwhile, what can you do?

Answer
Watch the moving advertisements and read the posters. I earnestly watch the public service messages about what to do in emergencies, and wheelchair access.

I had never heard of Xiamen Airways. However, on close inspection I discovered that an advertisement I must have passed many times, had a small temple hidden just beyond the corner of the lady's eye. I looked further and found more hidden pictures.
