Thanks to all for the responses.

I have been in touch with the relevant person and have received confirmation today that the repairs will be carried out shortly. result

Thankyou - very much appreciated. I have sent you a PM

Excellent - many thanks for the info

I have'nt had a response or acknowledgment from any of my emails.  I did try ringing but after being on hold for 27 minutes lost the will to live to be honest.

I think I will go in and see if I can get any sense from the station manager on Monday.

I emailed the support email which is the only one I could find.  Never thought about the Station Manager, that would be worth a try.

That is my next move.  In my last email to them ( which I also copied to my useless local MP^▸ (Member of Parliament) who has not responded), I informed them that if they did not have the common courtesy to respond at least, I would contact the local press.  I really wanted to establish before I did that they were definitley responsible, rather than have them say to the contrary.

Somerset Highways have confirmed it is not theirs and so have Network Rail but as pointed out earlier in the thread, that may just be passing the buck.

I'm tempted to put a sign up on the approach road advising folk to check their suspension and send any repair bills to FGW^▸ (First Great Western).  There are a "team" of workers tarting up the station frontage at the moment, I was going to ask them but I suspect they are just contractors.

Hi,  It;s Bridgwater Station.  I did speak with Network Rail initially who were very helpful and after checking their records told me this was FGWs^▸ (First Great Western) responsibility.

I know historically from locals that "The Railway" has always been responsible. 

Sorry should have read "hanging on to the steering wheel for grim death"

Hi All

I am hoping someone here may be able to help me as Great Western themselves cannot even be bothered to respond to Emails.

The approach road to my local station has a 20 - 30 metre stretch that has between 25 and 40 potholes, ranging from 1cm to 5cm deep.

Due to vehicles parking on one side of the road it is impossible to use that stretch of road ( which is a 2 way through / access road) without passing over this section and hanging on to the steering death.  It is probably the worse section of highway I have seen for some time.

Not only is it causing damage to vehicles but cyclists are at risk, especially in the dark, and I have witnessed pedestrians tripping and falling there on a number of occasions.

Network Rail have confirmed this is the responsibility of First Great Western and not the local Highways, but having sent 3 emails to them in the past 5 weeks and not had a response I am beginning to wonder if First Great Western actually give a monkeys about public safety on this access road.

Any information would be much appreciated.
