Police blocking both accesses to station and car park. But pedestrian access under bridge was allowed (road happens to be blocked this week for road works).
Trains are still running through though. Title: Re: Nailsea & Backwell incident Post by: brizzlechris on October 29, 2009, 11:47:43 A body has been found according to This is Bristol: http://www.thisisbristol.co.uk/homepage/Body-Nailsea-Backwell-railway-station/article-1465995-detail/article.html

Title: Re: Nailsea & Backwell incident (29/10/2009) Post by: Chris from Nailsea on October 29, 2009, 18:54:23 Yes, thanks for posting, chriselkins - and welcome to the forum, even if in somewhat sombre circumstances.
I've spent some time digging around, but I haven't been able to find any further information on this incident, other than what is in the Bristol Evening Post article. Title: Re: Nailsea & Backwell incident Post by: Chris from Nailsea on November 01, 2009, 14:03:22 I went down to Nailsea & Backwell Station this morning and happened to meet the father and brother of the deceased. Having introduced myself, I offered them our condolences, on behalf of this forum.
They are not locals, but have travelled down from Northamptonshire. I therefore gave them links to this topic and that Bristol Evening Post article, where friends of the deceased, Andrew, have started posting condolence messages.
