The view west from the station showing the original station building, goods shed and signalbox on the Up platform as well as the Down platform waiting room. Also on view is one of the sidings that used to exist at the west end of the station. The train is the 10.30 from Penzance. 21.3.1952.

This is the view west from the signalbox and shows a siding at this end of the station. There were other sidings as well as a loop and a crossover further west from this spot. The train in this photo is the 13.00 Plymouth to Crewe and it was captured on 21.3.1952.

A Peak powers north through the station. Andy was capturing the semaphore signalling before it disappeared which dates the photo to just before the end of 1970.

A general view of the station, viewed from the main road.

Looking east at the stairs to the platform and the bike sheds. The footbridge is at the Bristol end of the station.

A closer look at the construction of the platforms. Being built entirely on an embankment meant that lightweight materials had to be used during construction. The platforms were initially made from wood.

Standing on the station and looking towards Bristol.

Moving further back gives a great view of the footbridge. This was installed in 1907 and built by Finch & Co of Chepstow. Before the bridge was installed people crossed the tracks via footboards.

The carpark viewed from the platform. This gives a good idea just how high up the station is! I believe the embankment is approx 40ft high through the station.

Looking west towards Weston Super Mare.

Back to the footbridge and the view east from it.

And looking west. Everyone on the platforms is staring at me trying to figure out why I'm taking pics!

The Bristol platform at Nailsea has more platform shelters than the corresponding WSM platform. This is one of them.

The larger shelter on platfrom 2.

The booking office is situated inside this particular platform shelter.

Standing on Platform 1 and looking back along the station.

153373 stands at Platform 1 with a well-patronised service for Weston-super-Mare.

Shortly after, 37707 passes through on a short freight. This was the last day of working for this particular freight flow.

The exit/entrance to the station on platform 1 is via a very steep set of steps.

The view of the station approached from the Backwell side. This place is never going to win any awards for its consideration to disabled people.

Nailsea gives out the best information of any of the stations I've visited in the Bristol area. Not only does it have working monitors, but there are also station announcements informing people of the next train arriving.
