Is it definitely Bristol? Any clues at all ... ?

My guess is St Philips Marsh too. Trying to work out the locos - looks like a 47/57 on the left and a 37 on the right?

Not SPM. The water tower is in the wrong place and I don't recall the access platforms alongside the dmu. The track layout on the left is wrong as it would have fanned out into what is now known as the Coalfield sidings where the dmu fuelling pit used to be. I also think the roadway is too wide but the concrete fence panels on the left seem familiar.
A long shot but possibly Canton?
