The Bristol Railway Archive

I'm not too sure that the freight WTT has actually been uploaded though.

The National Sectional Appendix, which can be found at http://www.networkrail.co.uk/aspx/10563.aspx is also very useful.

I'm also seeing that with the Linux version of Firefox 10 beta 2.

Can any one please offer any other details of the Class 47 amongst other things?
That's Riviera's 47815 which is used on a Friday to move the tour stock from Temple Meads to Barton Hill and back for servicing. Whether it gets used to move the stock on the days the Torbay Express actually runs I ...

You're nearly correct.

One car of unit 150221 was damaged by fire and in order to keep a 2-car unit in service the good car has been semi-permanently coupled to unit 153369. As the operation of 153s is more restricted than the operation of 150s it was given a 153 unit number. Unit 153399 is a ...

According to http://www.71000trust.com/update250511.html it would have been the Duke of Gloucester you saw. It's just been moved to Bristol ready to work the summer Torbay Express specials. I saw 71000, with support coach, being pushed back onto the depot by a Class 66 at around 1645 on 23rd May.

The return sleeper was a Bath rd turn dep New street at 07-00 hrs arrive Tmds at 08-30?
I remember being on the M32 on my way into work and seeing the sleeper approaching Stapleton Road station on a regular basis. So yes, about 0830. In those days I didn't commute by train so I never got to see ...

Times for run to Bristol. Train runs via Chippenham, Bathampton Junct. Bath then Bristol. Arrives at 12.57. It now shows a 16.40 departure from Temple Meads.

Unusually left from platform 3 rather than platform 9 today. Running a few minutes late as ...

I might me wrong but I think that the train that arrives from the north east around 0600 has been hauled by a class 60 most of the time. This leaves around midday and another train arrives shortly after from South Wales. It is on this train that a class 66 and a class 59 or two class 66s has ...

No. But I have read various comments about the loco's lack of use. May be most of the shunting that was intended for 73133 has been done by the visiting class 66s?

I read on another site that it was heading for Selhurst in south east London.

I'm pretty sure they have taken away the pay for parking at yate now i dont recall seeing a meter there last time i wss there?
The ticket machine for car parking is now located near the ticket booth.

There certainly seems to be less cars parked in Yate station car park now. Many people are now ...

The last one was on 29th June 1991, the year I regained my interest in railways. Locomotives present included 59005, D7017 and D1010 masquerading as D1035. St Philips Marsh was also open as I have recorded 91005 as being there but don't remember anything else apart from being able to walk between ...

According to a message that I saw displayed at Bristol Parkway the line won't be clear until 2345 at the earliest.

Buses serving Yate, Cam & Dursley and Gloucester from Bristol Parkway.

08402 was cut up at Stockton earlier this year.

08405 was sent to Toton a few months ago.

I've never witnessed an inter-city train departing from this platform; does it happen at all regularly these days?

I wouldn't call it a regular occurrence but it's certainly not unusual. If a southbound Cross Country service terminates at Bristol and it's due to return north shortly after ...
