The planning application for North Filton (for yes, that it what it sounds like it will be called) is now available on the South Glos planning portal: Go to https://beta.southglos.gov.uk/search-planning-applications/ and search for P21/06296/F The 'Design Note' document seems to give a reasonable overview. |

It looks to be pretty central - on what is currently a level crossing, just next to what was the grassed apron for light aircraft. Has Henbury been forgotten about?

It's exactly where "North Filton for Brabazon and the Arena" was expected to be, isn't it? |

I suppose getting them to go the whole hog and add the word "Platform" would be too much to ask... |

Bristol Arena: YTL confirms work has started and 2024 opening is 'on track'Developer YTL says there are "numerous work-streams currently in flow" including at Filton AirfieldWork has started on YTL Arena Bristol and it remains on track to open in 2024, it’s been confirmed. Developer YTL says there are "numerous work-streams currently in flow" to support the Arena, including construction at Filton Airfield. It comes after the Arena's Chief Executive said last year that work would start in 2022, following a delay caused by coronavirus. A spokesperson for YTL told Bristol Live: “There are numerous work-streams currently in flow for a major project of this scale, including several infrastructure packages of works on Filton Airfield that will support the Arena.” According to traffic site One Network, work started on Monday (February 7) at the Airfield, now Brabazon Hangars, and is ongoing until November 11. [...] It will be connected to Bristol city centre via a new train station as well as buses, and a dedicated Metrobus route linking the city centre to Cribbs Causeway. Last month it was confirmed that YTL will pay for shuttle buses to get people to the Arena. Read full article Source: Bristol Post |

Now wouldn't it be a good idea to build it with 12-car platforms and OHLE down to Temple Meads so an intensive EMU▸ -shuttle service with 387's can be run for events ;-)

Nearly as good an idea as building the arena next to Temple Meads would have been. |

Yes it would: you could then also split the Portsmouth - Cardiff services into two with 387s doing the Bristol to Cardiff part. Dave |

Shouldn't that read "arenal"? Where does it end though? Properly translated, we would have: “Nurly as good an ideal as builden the gurt arenal next to Tempa Meaze wood of bin” |
