I think I might be at Keynsham at about the right time. :wink:

(however, having had to go out today means my timetable is all over the place now and I may not go out until Friday! My job is confusing sometimes..)

I got lots of pics of the footbridge...not many train ones because the dull light and drizzle messed everything up...lots of blurs!

It doesn't half shake when an HST goes past too!

Travelled back in a 158 called "Isambard Kingdom Brunel". It had no power in the rear car and all the lights and air conditioning were off...great fun in No. 3 and 2 tunnels!

Brunel himself is probably spinning in his grave though!

You can steal the photos but you can't make good captions for them :P

"The footbridge that is sited along a footbridge from Durley Hill, Keynsham" :lol:

They're all in the wrong order too...I arranged them especially to be a walk over the bridge from north to south :?

My captions tell the full story ;)
