Seriously, it looks like it's off Platform 1, next to Yo Sushi:

Thanks, Norbert. I'll not be hanging around in quite that fashion!

I remember that biggrin

Don't think it exists any more though?

A small housing development cut the wall vertically so for a while it read something like FAR AWAY IS IMAGES OF ELSE. Then it was painted over. I still try to indentify where it was when I go past.

Okay, my memory may have played tricks with me there but I do know the Lawn (where the sushi bar is to be found) is so named because it was the lawn of the Station Master's house before the hotel was built.

It was repainted on the side of a small brick hut thing but there was barely room for it and it was nothing like so conspicuous as the original. Only saw it there the once but it put a smile on my face to see it back. Don't know if it survived though.
