I know this is totally Random but anyone Know on what date Brent Knoll station saw it's last Passenger Trains?

It was between Weston-Super-Mare and Highbridge and in my 1970 Western Timetable seemed to have a Parly sevrice.

4th January 1971 according to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disused_railway_stations_%28Bristol_to_Exeter_Line%29#Brent_Knoll).

What a nostalic report!

I used to live at Bridgwater and remember the old stopper service that called at Dunball, Highbridge, Brent Knoll, Uphill and several other minor halts bewteen Bridgwater and Weston - 2/4p CDR!, 4 shillings to Bristol and back taking around an hour or more!

Just out of curiousity, what services at what times called at Brent Knoll in the 1970 timetable, smokey?

Cheers smokey, very interesting  :)

Well I expect that 07.40 from Highbridge was the Last service to Start from Highbridge.
Can't see Anything Starting from there these days.

Only a couple of years ago there was a Highbridge - Paddington HST.

There still is (except it starts in Taunton)

Smokey - can you tell me the connection off that at Weston to Bristol Temple Meads?  (d. WSM and a. BRI)

Thanks!

The Next Train out of Weston-super-Mare was at 08:05 due arr Bristol T M at 08:32.
Service was the 05:40 Plymouth-Sheffield

 ;D

Thanks, Smokey ... so that was a commutable day to Bristol ... arrive there at 08:32 and leave at 17:55.   That compares very favourably in terms of usability for a normal working day when compared with the current (also near to "parly level") direct Westbury / Trowbridge to Swindon service that's designed to be a commuter train ... arrive there at 07:48 and leave at 18:44.
