As a wild guess ... I'm wondering if it is Keynsham?

I'm very sorry, but your wrong...! Wink

Ok a clue then Grin

The station benefits from a rather good greasy spoon in the car park...! Grin

Thanks again, thetrout!

Personally, I must confess to needing a clue: I went through a list of those 'smaller' stations which got a new HST (High Speed Train) service in the December 2007 timetable changes, but I couldn't identify your photo with any of those stations that I'm actually familiar with.  (It isn't Nailsea, certainly!)

However, I bet devon_metro knows!   Wink Roll Eyes Grin

Havnt got a clue!!

Google comes up with various things when you try pink stations - the Severn and Wye Valley Railway, Broad Street, and Kemble ... Hmmm.  And references to Pink Ffloyd and stations, to pink flowers at stations, and to pink grab bars in trains that stop at stations.

If HSTs (High Speed Train) are just stopping from December 2007, are we looking Berks and Hants, or even Thames Valley?  Is it going to be somewhere like Theale or Thatcham?  (Wild guess ... these are stations I travel through not too!)

I can't think of any Somerset stations that you can get to which require a change.

Despite it not being served by HSTs (High Speed Train), Bruton?

I came up with Yeovil Pen Mill and Junction ... but no 125s.  Or Oldfield Park and Freshford in BaNES.  Places like Worle and Yatton are (I think) one change if you want to arrive on the 125 as all the one that stop there start from Weston ...

All HSTs (High Speed Train) from Taunton stop at Worle and defiantly Yatton!

Its possibly it is Worle though, as the railings look familiar, whereas Yatton has a GWR (Great Western Railway) style decoration?
