Thanks  for the suggestions afraid Portishead and Nailsea are too near Bristol and not enomourd of Swindon.

However somwhere East West might be good. I quite like Alyesbury which will hopefully have trains to Milton Keynes. ^15.65 Travelcard with railcard and quite late trains back from town.

Otherwise Kidderminister although i know it's not all that flat but I could work on the Severn Valley.

Bit confused by the phrase 'too near Bristol'... How could anything be too near to Bristol?

I first visited Bristol in summer of 1960 by train (steam). Took an instant dislike to the place. Although it was Sunday so nothing/nobody about.

Totally irrational, I know, but nothing I've seen since on a number of visits has changed my mind.

Oooooh a little harsh Sir!

I was never a huge fan but there has been a whole load of regeneration in Bristol with great restaurants, pubs, music venues etc..............obviously not a patch on Plymouth, but then again I'm biased! 

Now Swindon......that's a grim place! (I actually came back from there on the 1629 to Paddington yesterday, in coach B and it wasn't a great ride, bouncing around quite a lot between Swindon and Didcot, not sure whether it was the track or the train!)
