The Bristol Railway Archive

I like the fact that some muppet from mangotsfield was saying in the evening post tonight about how it would be good to see the line back to its original use(obviously confused the maroon warships with buses!!),also he mentioned that as he uses the cycleway a lot the line was not touched by ...

Motion seconded and carried-probably cheaper than the arena as well.....still would have been nice to have walked 10 mins from my house to see some decent big bands-what about model railway shows-bring tem back to bristol now the old station's going to be empty.

Does anyone know of any local(ish) events/railtours similar to the camra events at Minehead and Bitton coming up soon?-got some friends with an interest in ale and transport so was hoping to combine the two......

You're in Blackfire?No way!!! How long Pete? I've gigged on a couple of bills with Blackfire but it was a few years ago......I was in Apocalypse and I used to roadie/run the pyro's for Osmium.

You can also consider windmill hill/totterdown both close to bedminster station,not forgetting parson st station which gives bedminster down/part of ashton a service..........problem is in bristol prices will keep rising so don't delay.

Folks,take a look at this page on the disused railways site.......

Bring back "kettles"-what the GWR was built for!!!

Pete looks like an idea for a book here! I have to say I have always felt that a golden oppurtunity was missed especially as the M32 could have passed through the arches of the 13 arches with the right alignment, still all they were worried about was another magnificent concretestructure for the ...

Amazing how it disappeared...One of my customers would not believe that the line went across there, had to show him the webite as proof!Given me an idea for shots I can post now..........

As far as I'm concerned any idea involving booze and trains is great-one of my favourite pubs is the Mount Pleasant at Dawlish Warren,good views,beer and trains.It was better when I was younger,more variety of trains then.

And guess who forgot all about it until they read the evening post and my relative is the assistant station master!!Shame on me!
Perhaps next time any interested archive members could meet up at Bitton and share an ale (and memory) or two?

I don't think that the units block the line but the retirement home a bit farther along does. If they "protected" the route then why did they remove Brassmill Lane bridge and allow the waste depot to be built on the trackbed farther in?I agreed with James though-a far better and economical way to ...

Used to be a working member myself back a long time ago-great to see how far they've come.Just a shame they've set their sights on the outskirts of Bath by the projected Park and Ride,be better if the Park and Ride let you take a train to Green Park,way better than a thousand extra buses in that ...

Oh well another possible resting place for the "strategic reserve "off the list!!
