Title: What the Dickens? Post by: want2workrail on August 19, 2018, 15:39:55 I am currently on the Severn Beach branch line for the first time. What are the great antennae-looking things as you look North between Redland and Montpellier?

I've always known it as Nevil Road, so as not to confuse it with the County Ground in Taunton, home to the superior Somerset CCC. :P Although Somerset's ground has a silly sponsorship name too. Tommy Cooper Associates County Ground I think. Title: Re: What the Dickens?
