The Bristol Railway Archive

I unfortunately missed opening of tunnels but perhaps that wasnt such a bad thing looking at volume of visitors. I did see some footage on facebook and am keen to explore. Looked like one near colision between cyclist and walker, cyclist ~look out~ walker ~you look out~. pedestrians and cyclists ...

Ok , your welcome, I am just off to work but we will sort hand over later.
cheers, nick

Good morning / afternoon,
Can I interest anyone in boxes of railway slides. About 1000 (thats slides not boxes)and some photos.
I thought what a bargain when I took posession of them but ive never looked at many and mrs is chewing my ear off because our personal photos got damp in attic and ive got ...

The program is purely about railway journeys and a hefty tome (Bradshaws) it isnt a party political broadcast. Does anyone say im not watching football on the box because the presenter is a raving tory or whatever ? Who knows and if they keep their political view to themselves who gives a XXXX ...

Portaloo, hahaha quit apt as he performed opening ceremony on a railway a couple of weeks ago. I personaly enjoy the series, it is watchable and has some good scenery views and trains. It makes a railway program that is watchable by many. (i dont know the figures, but must be good or they would have ...

On the subject of noises at midnight, My inlaws lived at Shirehampton for a period of time and always at midnight newyears eve most of the people from other side of street would come out of their houses and bang pots and pans for a couple of minutes. Funny lot.

Likewise from me also. To all of you. Lets hope santa sends us lots to see and discuss next year...

Must agree , that is an awsome picture. everything fell into place at right time for that.. Only thing that could maybe have been better would have been a dusting of snow...

I was gutted to miss Tornado this afternoon. I had just parked up by canal at Bathampton and heard train going past. i could see trail of steam through trees and mk1 coaches. weather was perfect as the photos of mow and chippy show.
As they say, so close and yet so far. Oh well. Triffic piccs as ...

Thanks.
Actualy was pretty much spot on at pilning then, the clock in my car is quite a bit out and forgot to take that into consideration.

The nuclear flask train had to stop in BTM today. A technical fault on one of the 37s meant the operators had to switch the 37s around and the flask proceeded shortly after.

the guy who rides over bath road bridge is on the one show right now....

Re, charity walk the entire line was closed to movements once the dmu had brought walkers up from mineheadand would remain so until a set time when it would proceed up line to collect stragglers from the intermediate stations where they should muster if they thought they would not reach the end ...

Just to add a little something extra to the mix...
Robin says quite correctly that what the picture shows may not tell the full story. I bring to view that the WSR had a charity walk from wiliton to bishops lyd, anyone not in the know would have thought there was a mass tresspas on the running line ...

Saw the empty wood train returning through pilning last saturday at 6.45 pm. It was pretty dark by that time but recognisable. Is that a regular..
