There is also the proposed extra platform for Filton Abbey Wood, bringing it to Four Platforms, Now!
I have wondered about fitting the extra platform in at Filton Abbey Wood (FIT) because as I see it platform 2 and 3 (which is a single combined platform for those unfamiliar with the station ) is quite wide in my opinion. I look forward to seeing the progress later in the year |

That will be quite an exercise - those platforms can get quite busy at times. |

There was a video visualisation posted a while back in this thread: https://youtu.be/VFuvX1A1O1gDoesn't show any narrowing of the P2/P3 island. The previous discussion about changes to FIT took place from about post 120 onwards... Paul |

They will be quiet whilst the line is closed. |

From memory, I think there will be no need to move the line on P3. The supporting structure for the footbridge will need amendment.

I thought the choice of the Russian dance from the Nutcracker suite by Tchaikovsky was excellent. If only they could have constructed as quickly as they demolished, electrification would have been finished by now !

"Trepak" - played on the flute by a 12-year-old Four Track, Now! as part of a pretty rubbish school orchestra. I did better with Jethro Tull. |

Came upon this whilst walking the dog yesterday at Narroways. Note the deluxe viewing gallery, presumably laid on by NR» , on the opposite bank. No takers, it seems.

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.

Surplus Mk II seating? Possibly. You know that moment, about halfway through your third can of Special Brew, when your bum sort of slides forwards off the edge of the sofa? Wouldn't want to try that there. possession or no! |
