Opened on the 1st May 1972. (although not looking like it does now!)
|
The sun sets on the rather groovy buildings at Bristol Parkway.
|
|
A look at the main building. The left hand side is the meeting area and concourse. The bottom right of the building is the ticket office. The top right is the waiting room. You can see for miles across Bristol from up there.
|
|
This footbridge leads to the platforms. It crosses the through lines first though.
|
|
A quick look inside the concourse. I need a really wide-angle lens to do justice to this place. I would have taken more pics but the light was fading fast and I started to get followed by a security guard with a worried expression on his face.

|
At the west end of the station is this crossing.
|
|
The view west from the west end of the station.
|
|
A Voyager gets the right of way and heads for Temple Meads.
|
|
Looking east along the platforms. A healthy crowd is awaiting a London-bound HST.
|
|
The view east taken from the footbridge kindly donated by Graham. Disused Royal Mail coaches await their fate in the sidings.
|
|
A HST bound for Swansea arrives on platform 2.
