The "Next Train" feeds at the top of our pages are not working - they are links to the industry's "Tiger" system that seems to be having problems feeding data at the moment.    Other systems that provide feeds that are working - if you go (for TAU» (Taunton - next trains) / Taunton example) to http://www.firstgreatwestern.info//better/map.html?stn=TAU you can see links to other feeds. Change the "TAU" to your 3 stations code.

Example - Chippenham at National Rail

You have reminded me that the garage that usurped the 1954 station in Portishead had an absolutely huge stuffed Tony the tiger on the forecourt roof back in the 70s. I think there was a huge row...shouldn't that be ROAAAAR.... about planning permission....!
