Just like when it was first opened then - I used FIT regularly back in the spring of 1996, there was a little hut on Platform 1 which was always manned at peak times.

Yes it is I who posted this on the FOSBR (Friends of Suburban Bristol Railways) group, spoke to a gentleman yesterday afternoon who said it was a trial. Have popped a message off to Andrew Griffiths to see if he can provide more information. Together with a ^400,000 investment in other local stations I think this is real good news.
