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!
Use this forum to talk about the railways in and around Bristol, or for any off-topic stuff you want to share. Also request photos and information that you are missing.
Spent half hour at my fav railway bridge this week and noticed that a new relay room has been installed half way up Filton Bank. This quite nicely blocks any chance of reinstating four tracks up the hill. Anyone know why it's been installed?

I suppose it depends what it's for! Either way, they should be planning for the future when they install anything of this nature. It's bad enough that the council/government allow building on redundant trackbed, without the railway industry doing the same.
Mystery solved, a mobile phone mast has gone up. I reckon that will make it just that little bit harder to move if anyone should plan on sticking the track back down.
