I wonder if this is the same Mr Barry Cash that stood in the local elections last time for the chance of becoming a councillor for Bishopston in Bristol ?.

He stood as a Liberal Democrat and polled 190 votes, as did the other Lib Dem Laura Barry (no relation). That was a significantly lower number than the Lib Dems managed in the previous election.

Anyone know why the Full Business case for the Portishead line which was due to be signed off March/April, has been put back to
july 2025... as reported by the Portishead railway group website ?

The only place I'ce spotted that date is on the 'Timescales' page, here: https://www.portisheadrailwaygroup.org/timescales.htmlHas that been updated recently? |

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.

Barry Cash has just posted on nextdoor to say he found the Reform's party political broadcast this week was frightening. I replied to say that his plan to place rubber mats through the Avon Gorge to run buses on , was FAR more frightening.....

Barry has now responded and has changed tack. He is suggested TARMACING over the 2.2 miles of railway line, sending buses over the M5 bridge and up the Portway. And where pray, can we fit bus shelters in the Avon Gorge without undoing all the ecological work already done ?
