Plans to invest ^25,000 on commissioning engineers to look for the best solution to the problem were revealed by South Gloucestershire Council earlier this month.

Options include digging a tunnel under the railway embankment to create a pedestrian subway at a cost of ^1.5 million. This would segregate pedestrians from traffic heading between the station and nearby offices.

The railway bridge , which crosses New Road , is used by children at Filton High School , as well as being a major commuter route for people working at the Ministry of Defence , Hewlett Packard , Axa Sun Life and Sainsbury's.

The road is very busy when children arrive and leave school and the narrow pavements leave little room for pedestrians to pass each other.
