With references to Pilning and its curring back to one train per WEEK from December, I Googled to find some picture and came up with an excellent site from Chris McKenna, which I'm sharing here: http://www.railfaneurope.net/pix/gb/station/Pilning/pix.htmlI don't know a great deal about the station / usage / future; I do know that it was a junction in the past with a line connecting off the main London to South Wales line that still runs through the station to Severn Beach and Avonmouth. |

I don't know a great deal about the station / usage / future; I do know that it was a junction in the past with a line connecting off the main London to South Wales line that still runs through the station to Severn Beach and Avonmouth. I rather suspect that the decision to kill off Pilning station was taken after the Severnside Stadium scheme was rejected (link below.) http://212.58.226.40/1/hi/england/bristol/3370537.stm"Developers Redrow Homes wanted the building between the villages of Easter Compton and Pilning, near Bristol." Pilning station is situated between the villages of Easter Compton and Pilning. You may also find the link below helpful. http://www.savethetrain.org.uk/forum/index.php?topic=36.msg1120#msg1120 |
