Monkeh Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 with the POD line being reopened a station at Ashton Gate is highly likely, The line is going to be running passenger Trains from 2019 I would hazard a guess that a station will be there in 2020 - 2023, its just not in the funding at the moment, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Horse With No Name Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I may have dreamed it but several years ago, there was serious talk of opening Ashton Gate Halt Station, with a tunnel leading directly to the away turnstiles, obviously then in the Wedlock, to minimise the risk of trouble.

CliftonCliff Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Job done. And well done Dolly for the 'heads up' on this important issue. I use the Severn Beach - Temple Meads service quite a bit. It's great. Reasonably frequent, generally reliable and relatively cheap. Beats the crap out of crawling through traffic on a bus or in a car. Being able to connect via TM to the Portishead line when it's up and running would potentially give City fans from the western side of town easy rail access to AG if a station were to be built there, including for example those from Avonmouth, Sea Mills, Shire, Clifton, Redland and Montpellier. Pity there wasn't the political will, foresight and competence to do it two decades ago when it should have been done, but better late then never.

WhistleHappy Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Signed and bumped... Its important anyway for residents, business and visitors alike to SouthBristol ...... BUT WOW after last night and CITY's incredible season.... Its VITAL now that we're in the Championship! Thousands of more people will regularly converge on the area on match days, more than ever before everything is naturally bigger better and busier in the area, current infrastructure roads etc creak under the pressure and BCFC and its visitors will considerably add to those pressures due to a larger redeveloped Ashton Gate and its success ...... Everyone will benefit from a reopened rail link at Ashton Gate... Its needed now, it will become imperative soon!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The line is already in use for freight,the plan is to open the line to passanges ,how ever a new station at Ashton Gate as not been approved ,this is why the petition is important, if there is a strong enough case for a new station it may be built.

That woman has done her utmost to halt everything possible with the movement of traffic around Bristol. She heads up the group (Transport For Greater Bristol) it should read No Transport for Greater Bristol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
