GWP. Bus and Visitor Centre
Great Western Park, a green field site undergoing a massive development of new housing.
The current (2012) map edition bears very little relation to what is now here.
They've got the public transport organised, as you see. Nobody much is using it yet as only a few places are occupied at the moment, but the visitor centre is open to lure in new buyers.
Applicants must have an appreciation of Power Stations.

Part of Something Great........
Great Western Park, a green field site undergoing a massive development of new housing. The current (2012) map edition bears very little relation to what is now here.
Isn't ad-speak amazing? This sign, I mean, what exactly is the message here? Green hillsides are great because we build over them and make lots of money?.....err...You get a great view of one of the nation's largest power stations?
Err...Never mind, you're part of it, so...um....great.
