Katharine and I had a visit to Sheffield last Friday, and we discovered this traveller on the railway station concourse in Sheffield.
He is called Miles, and is the mascot of East Midlands Railway. He features in advertising for the railway, and other examples of him can be found at other East Midlands Railway operated stations.
I thought he was rather fun, and I will be keeping an eye out for him as we travel to other stations.
Sorry for the rather later than usual post. I've been chasing steam trains today - more of that in a few days when I've had chance to sort out all the photos.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
It was interesting to hear what this mascot made you think of. I was particularly amused by Corrine C being reminded of a bacteria! I'm not sure if it would encourage me to travel by train, but then again I haven't seen the advertising that features Miles.
