Closure of line from Pilning to Severn Beach to passenger services - 23rd November 1964. You will note that I have posted this under "Railway History" and not "Campaigns" - a short line that would be so useful in a network these days for passenger and freight traffic, but which closed in 1964 and has been covered by houses and motorways and won't be back in our lifetime.
