Bedminster Station

To Temple Meads
the previous seriesWindmill Close
To The Southwest
the next seriesWindmill Hill

Opened in July 1870. Completely rebuilt in 1933 when the line through the station was quadrupled.

47814 in 1989

Large Logo 47814 opens up the throttle as it powers south in 1989.

HST approaches Bedminster

The sun is setting as a HST slows on the approach to Temple Meads.

Local DMU heads for Weston

A local DMU heads for Weston. Despite stopping at local stations en route, Bedminster is not one of them.

The next bunch of pics were taken on the 2.12.2003

the station entrance

The station entrance is covered in a brilliant muriel... err.. I mean mural.

the underpass

The underpass into the station is also brightly painted and, surprisingly, untouched by vandals.

this way to platform 1

This way to Platform 1 :)

platform shelters

Things have certainly changed since I were a lad.. Excellent architectural platform shelters now stand on the spots that were once occupied by bus shelters full of piss.

the other shelter

Strangely, the shelter on the Up Platform is of a much smaller design. Just visible to the right of the shelter is the top of the Clifton Suspension Bridge.

The down slow

The down slow would seem to be little used. At the time of my visit there was some very dangerous debris lying around at this spot which if some little git decided to move to the running rails could cause something quite nasty...

the old subway

At one time Bedminster Station was accessible from both ends. These bricked up stairways led down to the bridge at Windmill Close. The red warehouse in the distance has been built on the site of the old goods shed at Pylle Hill.

a voyager heads south

A Voyager heads south working wrong line.

heading south

The Voyager leaves the station and crosses the bridge at Windmill Hill. The big red brick building in the right-background is where Mr Cameron makes his world famous balloons.

platform 2 looking south

Standing on Platforms 2 & 3 and looking south. This is a similar view to the 1989 one above with the HST

nuclear flask train

This sneaked up on me while I was on the phone. 37605 and 37610 head north on a nuclear flask train.
