I'd love to call them atmospheric, but for some reason they look creepy and threatening. Maybe that's just because it's a deserted modern unstaffed station (about as unwelcoming as you can get), or maybe it's because I know who the photographer was.

I like creepy and threatening!! I certainly kept one eyeball in the back of my head while taking them.

nothing wrong with filton except fo that ugly place called the mod .Shame they knocked down the old filton station that I knew as a deralict place .

The creepiest thing I ever saw at Filton was long before Abbey Wood station was built. I was shunting in the erstwhile coal yard back in the 80's when a Cardiff - Portsmouth train met a Porstmouth -Cardiff train on the same bit of track. One or other of them had "spadded" on the then single lead junction, but mercifully stopped yards short of each other.

they are great pictures and do look quite creepy!!

With that sort of atmosphere, a remake of The Ghost Train would seem appropriate.
