45669 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Afternoon All, Whilst on holiday in Somerset, I spent an hour at Brunel's Grade II* listed station in Bridgwater. I had my camera with me... Hope it's of interest. TTFN, Ron. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Controller Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Thanks for that; I hadn't realised how extensive the station still was. The goods yard was busy until the end of Speedlink; now only the flask traffic remains. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivercider Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Thanks for posting that. I have travelled to or from there a number of times in recent years. From 3.30 to 4.00 you can see what I believe to be the original signal cabin to the left of the footbridge towards the Bristol end of the up platform. The yellow platform ramps are secured to the wall of the cabin, and you can make out an arch in the stone work underneath the platform edge where the point rodding and signal wires were located. In the 1980s it was used as a staff office/mess room, and in the 2000s was a model railway shop for a time. cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
