Anything (ever) going to happen at Pilning? Posted by grahame at 18:10, 6th July 2025 | ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
I found myself looking at various ways that passengers cross the line today ... wondering if a solution is any nearer for Pilning or if no-one's thinking about doing anything there any more ...





I understand that none of these would be acceptable to all parties for Pilning - but they do remind me of the widely different options employed in places, some of which may be novel to the UK

Before Pilning lost its footbridge, it was served by two trains a week. Having lost its footbridge it is still served by two trains a week.
So the question is not about building a footbridge, it's about whether Pilning can justify a useful service. If it can, then it is likely that the cost of a new footbridge will be a fraction of the cost of the full package of improvements required to deliver this service.
