The picture?
Indeed. Not sure why it won't upload. Sorry!
Is that the one on the pole under the BR sign as seen on Google streetview? Then yes that’s a normal type of red star parcels sign. I guess there’s nobody who’d admit responsibility for removing it.
Thank you. That's the one.
See post #12 on this 'old'thread: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/which-stations-did-red-star-serve.193515/
It also gas a boarded up EIIR postbox on platform 2 next to rhe former office. I'm guessing the postbox only came in to use around 1987/88.
Coincidence being located nearby really. Many more stations had postboxes on platforms or at their main entrances before and after Red Star was a thing. A postbox would be cleared by a postman on a collection round, was probably somewhere nearby before the last station rebuild and would have been blanked off once people stopped using it in justifiable numbers like any other. Unused postboxes fitted into building walls are often left for years.
That makes sense. Their is a more plastic looking postbox in the foyer.
Or even Ongar... I think it's fine to have blankings to update signs, but to leave them wrong is poor. The Marylebone one is particularly rare, as LU is hot on updating signage.
It's certainly not the only example of "British Rail" on LU signage, though! Take this at Piccadilly Circus:
Try searching in Bing for “red star parcels” in images, you’ll see lots of images and it looks like they had two logos … there’s even an image of a branded mug
Could anyone confirm if the Bradford Interchange one is still there? I've found a September 2021 Google Streetview image of the area near the Supervisors' office that doesn't show it where I expected to see it.
Southampton had one in recent memory on the down side, the furthest west end of the building. Only removed to be replaced by a sign for “Doddle”, and that idea didn’t last long.
I’ve seen that,it should be listed
. There’s a jolly good pub nearby.
