| This train
has conveyed many happy couples setting off together, looking forward
to a honeymoon in Bournemouth as they settle back, after a unique day in
their lives. We are going around Bristol, through Fishponds, Warmley, Bitton,
and over the Avon several times, before rolling into Bath Green Park station's
canopy. After the industrial landscape of Barrow Road shed
(below), we will be on a stretch which was Bristol's first
railway, a means for rolling loaded coal waggons down into the city, several
years before Brunel's GWR terminus for his line from London. |
