There was not so long talks about the building of a new stadium for Gloucester Rugby in this area. What happened about that?

...no it won't

The station proposed by the above is still firmly in gloucester.

Things come round in circles, wasn't it the Gloucester T staion that helped hasten the end of Brunel's Broad Gauge? With the problems of changing from the Midland to the Great Western and the famous cartoon.

Now it seems Gloucester is still causing problems due to the location of its station.

Perhaps Estgate should not have been shut, which I believe was a case of the motorist not being inconvinienced by the level crossings on the line.

Yes, interesting that 125mph running between Barnt Green and Westerleigh is back on the Agenda. Although in my view you could save a couple of minutes by grade-separating Westerleigh and moving the junction half a mile west to permit a fast diverge and avoid the 30mph restriction. Would also improve train regulation at this point as more services are planned for Yate.

But it'll never happen.....
