Or Nailsea and Blackwell as a certain Michael Portaloo kept calling it throughout the programme in the first series of Great British Railways journeys some 20 years or so ago...
Had he bought his Bradshaws guide at a certain well known bookseller in Oxford ??

They are at Nailsea & Backwell - I stand admonished (and ankle deep in rust).

Not sure where the steps are but they look like the next substantial storm could cause them ten grands worth of improvements.

Some members seem to have missed the double negative! It’s not not Nailsea and Backwell, despite Chris from Nailsea’s assertion.
Due to some major building work, the Squirrels are currently living in the most triangular village in North Somerset (another quiz - where might that be?). NLS is our most convenient local station for the duration.
I was shocked at the state of the stairs - surely they will be condemned soon?

Oh - I stand (humbly) corrected.
Failand - very definitely a triangle.
If someone would provide the necessary £1million plus, we could have a new access ramp, bridge and lifts to both platforms ...

Judging from the rust, somewhere close to sea spray.

Well it's definitely not Pilning!...

Well now there’s a conundrum… it’s not Breich, and it’s not not Nailsea and Backwell!
More seriously, but still a blindish guess - Stan Drew's Road?

Looks like the steps when I visited Breich a few years back when it was suggested closure. Must go back.

NOT Nailsea & Backwell: to be fair, our steps here are maintained to a much higher standard than those.

I expect this one to be resolved within seconds:
