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.
I don't know if you already knew this, but four ex-Bath Road Matteson jacks are now installed at the West Somerset's Williton shed. They're currently holding pannier 6412 whilst work is done on the axleboxes.
Lots of Bath Road shots on the Points West news today...all about the new Bristol Arena that is to be built on the site. Panning shots and an interview carried out in the middle of the old inspection pit roads, which is where the centre of the stage will be.
