Bristol Parkway is included in the MetroWest (formerly known as the Greater Bristol Metro) area. Another nearby station in the area is Lawrence Hill.

 

[ValleyLines142]

A handful of services on the to Cardiff route also call at Oldfield Park.

Edit: sorry that's not quite true. Only 1 Portsmouth to Cardiff service calls at Lawrence Hill. It's mainly the evening Bristol or Taunton to Cardiff services that call at Lawrence Hill.

Instead, Hatfield was also the site of a collision in 2000.

An underground railway - similarly to London's - was proposed in the 1970s to link Manchester Victoria and Piccadilly station, coining the nickname 'Picc-Vic line'. The whole plans were dropped due to funding issues.

[Esker-pades]

Rhoose Cardiff International Airport is the longest station name in the UK by the number of characters. It would have been beaten by Stephen Hawking Cambridge Science Park, but that station was opened under a different name, Cambridge North.
