The sound of the rails does it for me!

Does the quarry have much use?

I also noticed by the double roundabouts Radstock museum which could be worth a look.

Hello guys noticed today that the line to Radstock from Frome is still in place and is being used. On the map it seems to stop just before the site of the old station area, does anyone know where it leads and what it serves?

A lot of talk of it happening a while back with petitions and track clearing anybody know if it is going ahead? Surely with the track relayed to portbury dock it wouldnt cost that much for the extra mile to a new station at portishead.

The latest pics and info were spot on as to putting the picture together in my head - good stuff

Excellent pics, what a shame blown to pieces never to be seen again. It is hard for me to put everything in place looking at the photos because everything has changed so much. With things changing by the day, one day we will be looking at the pictures of the old Bristol temple meeds train station ...

Filming was going on down there last night by the swing bridge. Not sure what the story line will be but they had some actors with railworker type jackets on.

Past and present pictures from around Kingswood area. Not focusing on railways but a good section of Warmley.

Also getting to warmley the railway would have to cross southway drive enless they took the main road back over poplar road bridge if still posible.

There is a good section on multimap which i found interesting. It is the histotic photo section where you can view old aerial photos and historic maps. Didnt find any railway pics but some good photos of Bristol from the air.

Would be nice to have some pics of 13 arches if anyone has some out there. I noticetd today royate hill has a small jungle growing out of the top of the old track bed.
