Re: [Wikimediauk-l] QRpedia press release: Technological landmark for award-winning Birmingham Moor Street station

I find QR codes a little hard to get excited about (perhaps because I don't own a smartphone), but if we can get the railway publications, and through them the railway industry, interested in Wikimedia, it could lead to some very constructive partnerships. There are a lot of dilapidated railway articles that would benefit.
