By "very different business" do you mean it will no longer be a transport-themed bookshop?

Hah, yes. It won’t be. It’s actually a dental surgery now…. well soon. We have one on the same street for some years and we needed to expand but had no room so we have occupied Ian Allan 

Hello all - I am the new owner of what was Ian Allan in Waterloo. We open soon but it is a very different business and after a complete fit out completely unrecognisable. I managed to save a lot of the green section signs - the ones above the book cabinets if anyone would want some as a souvenir? I will keep a few for our staff room, but the rest need to go. There is no cost as I'd like them to go to a good home after the shop was there so long, and it was a great shop and I was also very sad to see it go. So, these are free to collect (by appointment) from Waterloo or I can post but you'll need to pay the postage. They are light but big! If you want more details just reply in here. I hope they find a happy train loving home!! :)
