The government is going to be setting up Great British Railways to take over the franchises soon.

So, how about a suggestion for their HQ?

Signal Point building in Swindon. Sure it needs refurbishing, but it seems like the ideal home.

And, Network Rail, which will be merged into GBR, already owns it.

@localzuk There are more run down places that need the jobs and rejuvenation and have good rail ties than Swindon, which is already doing very nicely in comparison - Crewe for example.

@etchedpixels Swindon has higher deprivation than Crewe according to the ONS...

But, if we choose locations in the way you suggest, then Brimington should get it...
