The only thing missing is the Famous Five and lashings of ginger beer....

Add in the cubicles on Platform 12 and it still makes unequal provision...

Still doesn't seem right to have all the Ladies loos stationside and all the Gents outside in the car park
If this position was reversed I am sure there would be even more shrill loud complaints.

No loos with no views ...for gentleman at least

Went into TM^‡(resolve) today. The gents loos in the subway are now branded ladies... the ladies loos are cordoned off.
Toilets are advertised on Plat 10/12...but for ladies only.

Gentleman of the crossed legged variety have to make their way out into the covered car park outside the barriers, where there are 6 smelly dirty unhygenic portaloos.

Come on TM....this is hardly equal provision is it ??. I would hazard a guess that the footfall of passengers on a daily basis is 60% male 40% female.

If it's Tuesday...it must be Taunton

Looks like a pared down version of Ebbw Vale Town/Parkway. Given the exposed nature of the site at the head of the Gordano valley, I can't help thinking the whole lot will be blown away in the first good gale! As it stands, I cant see any shelter from the weather whatsoever.

The proposed Portishead station plans are up for consideration on the North Somerset website. It is also referenced on the Portishead Railway group website and can be found by following this link...24/P/0474/DCW...

Don't tell Rishi ....or we might get Network North joined up by whirlybirds dodging the Amazon drones.

I spent 3 very frosty days in London in January of this year and was delighted to find a river roamer ticket for a day was half price with a ENCTS^▸ (English National Concessionary Travel Scheme) card (bus pass) and that it was less than £10. . It was brilliantly sunny and I remember doing 3 return trips between  Battersea Power Station and Greenwich,extending to Barking and Putney at peak time. The last trip was especially magical as all the lights of the skyscrapers came on gradually.

He/she might be leaving the Grays dreys behind to visit our Red cousin here in the West Country. He will have to take a trip on the Severn beech line !

Call me cynical, but by the time all these schemes come to fruition...... don't forget 3 miles of track to Portishead has taken 20 plus years and is still 3 years away.....and has been subjected to  7.5km of paperwork and too many reviews and revised costings to count.....I can't see much loose change from £36 billion!

Given the width of the guidedbusway rails on the m2...I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Marvin ordered some broad gauge trains to replace the buses.....as a parting shot to a certain WECA^» (West of England Combined Authority - about) mayor.

Would love to see one of the Aida cruise ships docking at Portway park and ride. There are some bollards on the opposite bank from the days of the Pill 'hobblers' which might help !!

Perhaps TonyK would like to adopt a new moniker for this thread ...Four Cruisers Now !

3. Ferrol ?

Did the SoS at the last minute, declare it open as.....  Markway Harpway ?
