Before Pilning lost its footbridge, it was served by two trains a week. Having lost its footbridge it is still served by two trains a week.

So the question is not about building a footbridge, it's about whether Pilning can justify a useful service. If it can, then it is likely that the cost of a new footbridge will be a fraction of the cost of the full package of improvements required to deliver this service.

Anything (ever) going to happen at Pilning?

I found myself looking at various ways that passengers cross the line today ... wondering if a solution is any nearer for Pilning or if no-one's thinking about doing anything there any more ...











I understand that none of these would be acceptable to all parties for Pilning - but they do remind me of the widely different options employed in places, some of which may be novel to the UK
