Not sure if we've heard this news ... I think I may have heard similar before?
Portway train station is delayed again
from
Bristol Live this morning
The completion date for Bristol's first new train station in decades has been delayed due to coronavirus.
Portway station, at Portway Park and Ride in Avonmouth, had been due to open later this year.
It secured £1m of government funding last week, but the entire project will cost about three and a half million pounds.
Bristol City Council has since confirmed that the project is no longer on track to open by December, although it is now fully funded.
A spokesperson told Bristol Live: “ The Portway station scheme is fully funded, with the cost of the project - which includes work that has already taken place - being between £3.4-3.6m
“Following some delays due to the pandemic, detailed project design is now progressing, with work set to start on site at the end of this year ahead of completion of construction in the summer of 2021.’’
Oh ... scrolling down ... think it's a retelling of a story from a few
years days back ...
