The Stapleton Road locals have signed a 3-year lease deal with Network Rail for the derelict land next to the station, including the former trackbed and platform faces.

Should look great when its finished, but one would assume that it will have to go if four tracking between Bristol-Filton Abbey Wood ever gets the go-ahead.
