New shops and toilets planned for Temple Meads

Network Rail is applying to refurbish empty rooms in the Midland Shed to create three retail units and passenger toilets. The building is on Station Approach, to the left of the main entrance to Temple Meads train station.

In planning documents, architects said: “With direct pedestrian access from Station Approach, the Midland Rooms are in a prime location to be utilised to provide benefit to all station users. The rooms are currently not in use and are in a very poor condition including missing floors, roof propped up and water ingress.”

Plans for the retail units include a convenience store, a cafe and a gift shop. The toilets will include a changing facility. The Midland Rooms were built in the 1870s, and were used as offices next to terminating platforms until 1965. Since then, the train shed has been used as a car park, while the offices have been largely left empty and derelict.

There are currently no public toilets on the non-paid side of the station. The new ones planned will be accessible to people who haven’t crossed the turnstiles, but will likely only be open from 7am to 7pm.

The reason I asked, it reminded me when I was on a train from Paddington back to Temple Meads, it was overcrowded and full and standing from London
So I stood with a friend in a vestibule between two first class carriages, when the train Manager came through we were asked to move as we didn't have a first class ticket
Apparently our ticket didn't guarantee a seat, just the ability to travel on that service

Out of interest what was your reservation for if not an actual seat?
Was it literally just allowing you onto the service?

Have a look in the Three Lions pub, there is a large platform display hanging in the pub for Parson Street

Location changed due to concerts being at the Principality Stadium at the same time

Reservations seem to be focussed on specific carriages, there will always be a couple that are heavily reserved and others that assumedly must be kept available for walk up passengers

Very random
Could it be that she had a connection to the railways in her past that was referenced within the story?

100% Weston
Not too far from where I am sat as I type this

Has anyone that got the email discount code actually got the discount to work?

I tried on my mobile phone, booked the advance single as per rules, but on getting to the fares section the screen went blank

So tried on my laptop, this time got through to the payment screen but no discount was given

Getting to the point of giving up, but unless I am missing something very obvious it doesn't seem to be working

Additional heating on all services during the summer?

Oh dear, the day I am supposed to be doing a presentation in London

Any indication when and where these services will be stopping ?

Interesting to hear that they got in contact with you to check your card details, I've only ever had standard emails that are clearly used en masse

The point about the service you were on was I was going to check the actual timings for you to see where you actually stood on this claim - happy to still help if you share the date and times etc.
With this it will either explain the amount you got or give you a cast iron case for an appeal with facts
