This is the original forum of the Bristol Railway Archive that existed between 2003 and 2013. I finally rescued it after it seemed unrecoverable after a large crash. I have made it available for viewing. It is locked, all posts to the new version please!
Just skived a quick half hour at Winterbourne with the intention of photting stuff from Harcombe Hill when it became obvious that everything had ground to a complete halt. Nothing went eastwards and everything westwards was backed up at every signalpost. The first train I saw on arriving at Winterbourne was an HST going west, and this was still at Parkway when I drove past half an hour after first seeing it.
