Anyone know what is going on with the ticket barriers at BTM (Bristol Temple Meads (strictly, it should be BRI))? They have all been removed and manual checks are being done at the moment.

Are they adding more gates and possibly a permanent another entrance and exit?

A few more ticket machines wouldn't go a miss!

It's all going to have to be rebuilt in the near future.

The Council and the University want a southern entrance for their new development on the Royal Mail site and the arena, plus a public walkway under the station. The council's masterplan has the current approach being closed to vehicles, with a drop-off and taxi rank on the north side of the station, presumably with a new station building. Don't forget too that when the signalbox is decommissioned, if they want to re-instate the platforms in the old passenger shed, they'll have to provide some kind of underpass. 

I believe that it will fall under the remit of the new WoE Metro Mayor, who is initially going to be based in the Engine Shed, so hopefully there is a plan prepared and waiting for the new Mayor to sign off on.

Is it WOE (West of England), Metro mayor or Whoah Metro, Mayor ? Given the track record in Bristol I think both are equally valid !

Network Rail have now put up a sign by the barrier location saying they are upgrading the barriers and 'these upgraded ticket barriers will have smartcard and barcode readers to support our touch smartcard pilot scheme commencing this summer'.

Hoping for some more entrances, ticket machines and barriers anyway!

But not in North Somerset: we're apparently DOO (Driver-Only Operation (that is, trains which operate without carrying a guard))* here.  Roll Eyes

William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

That must be 'Trigger' Ashton and no, no, no,no. no Elfan then. Perhaps we could send them a box of Mrs Letitia Cropley's cakes in gratitude for all that they don't do in North Somerset.

Someone had to mention the Elfan in the room! If Britain awaits bad news following Brexit, goodness only knows what sort of poo-storm is coming to north somerset parish council (from now on spelled in lower case) for having decided to opt out and hope that the big boys will still connect with them.

New barriers are slowly going back in at BTM (Bristol Temple Meads (strictly, it should be BRI)). Manual checks still going on. Based off the fact that the ones back in so far are in exactly the same location as before it seems unlikely we are having a significant increase in barrier numbers. Still holding out for a second bike/luggage barrier.

Is the one in charge the Western Super Mayor?
