From the Evening Bristol:

Quote
Long forgotten: Bristol's lost railways stations

You might not know it, but there are at least 13 former railway stations hiding away in Bristol, with even more lost in surrounding North Somerset and South Gloucestershire.
...
[photo caption]Mangotsfield station from the Bristol end showing the former line to Bath on the right and Yatton on the left.
...
There are question marks over several possible re-openings, especially as part of the MetroWest project which currently sees a new station proposed as part of the Portishead Line near the site of the old Henbury station.

Read it and weep

Would like to see the routing from, right at Mangotsfield to Yatton, my suggestion, without a reversal, Mangotsfield to Gloucester, thence towards Newport taking the curve at Maindee East to join the Welsh Marches line to Hereford thence through Great Malvern to Worcester, Cheltenham and Yate taking the original GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) curve to join the South Wales Main Line at Westerleigh Junction to Stoke Gifford taking the line to Filton Abbey Wood to Temple Meads and thence to Yatton.

I think the journalist meant Yate.

Which might explain why Metrowest seems to be in the Dollis Hill loop these days.
