No, its a dump.

How dare you!

I don't take photos any more but the footbridge at Filton seems quite popular as you can get a picture from high up without any platform in the way. I understand it's less good now they've put HST stopping signs up.

thanks what about fast trains going through stations

Pilning if you can actually get there ??

 

[martyn29]

thanks I dont think I can get there

Speed limit through Stapleton Road is something like 75mph, Filton trains will be going slower as more stop and will be slowing/speeding up for the junction.

You could try Yatton - FGW HSTs, XC Voyagers and HSTs go through pretty fast and you'll also get stopping FGW 143/150/153s. I think you might even get the 67s+Mk2s stopping as well.

sounds good to me
thanks

Or try Weston-super-Mare. not many trains, but some great photos available of what used to be a pier.....

Bear in mind that Yatton hasn't got that good frequency of trains. Only HSTs are the few that continue through Bristol to Weston/Paignton which aren't that common. XC services are only hourly with a few exceptions, plus 2 local trains per hour.

Filton is your best bet of not getting mugged.

I wonder if they've replaced the glass in the shelter there that was removed when I stopped using it on a daily basis - Sept last year.

Yep you've got 4/5 tph from Temple Meads to Filton so it's easy to get to.

What time you gonna be there, I'm going to Bristol tomorrow for a few days! I should be there around 4.15pm.
