It's in between Bristol and Weymouth not too far from civilization. You'll also get trains from Reading going to the Southwest coming through here, but very rarely do trains actually stop here, because it's literally in the middle of nowhere, and not many people need the station. It's cool that it's here though for sure, although it really does feel like it's in the middle of nowhere.

Bruton is a small station serving the historic town of Bruton in Somerset…read more It opened in 1857, originally on the Wiltshire, Somerset and Weymouth line from Chippenham to Weymouth, a single track line although Bruton was provided with a passing loop. From 1906 an extension from Castle Cary to Taunton, coupled with improvements on the Berks and Hants extension railway (from Westbury to Reading) placed bruton on the main Great Western line to the south west. However, today the station has reverted to being served only by trains between Bristol and Wyemouth. Connections to London are provided at Westbury or Bath, and to Taunton and the south-west at Castle Cary. The station has a roughly two-hour service throughout the day, with 3 trains each way on Sundays. It is unstaffed tickets can be bought on the train. There are basic waiting shelters on each platform, a bicycle rack, a small car park, and a footbridge.

So this is a little old station in Romsey, which is on the line from Waterloo into Southampton, and it's a listed beautiful old building with a very unique and very attractive design. It feels like a tiny little town station, but with a truly grand building and style, and is definitely one of the nicer stations you'll find in this part of the country.

The station opened in 1847 on the line from Southampton to Salisbury (via Eastleigh). In 1865 the route from Andover to Southampton via Romsey and Redbridge opened, making Romsey a junction; also known as the Sprat and Winkle Line, it closed between Andover and Romsey in 1965, but the southern section from Romsey to Redbridge (on the Southampton-Bournemouth line) remained to form the main Salisbury to Southampton line. The Eastleigh to Romsey line closed to passengers in 1967 but reopened in 2003, making Romsey a junction station once more. It is served by the Cardiff/Bristol to Portsmouth service (roughly hourly, half-hourly at peak times) and the Salisbury-Romsey-Southampton-Chandler's Ford-Romsey service, which provides an hourly service in all directions (and thus provides two trains and hour to Southampton, one direct, and one via Chandler's Ford, Eastleigh and Southampton Airport). Facilities include a ticket office (open part time), ticket machines, toilets, waiting rooms, covered bicycle storage, a small cafe (open part-time) and a small car park.

It's mainly for tourists and kids and it's absolutely adorable and goes back to the old days of trains but with a nice modern flair for colouring. In a way it reminds me of some of those colorful Indian trains like in that bad Owen Wilson movie recently. I come to Longleat mainly when coming to Center parcs as it's located quite close to the Longleaf Forest where the Holiday Village is.

This is a railway with wee individual carridges watch your head on the roof as you get in. The journey takes you past the lake and past a field that has different cardboard cut outs of lord bath etc. The railway was good fun for the children and the adults it takes approximately 15 minutes i think. There is a wee shop where you can purchase train whistles, thomas the tank engine products etc.

I had Grate Expectations of Grateley, and they were not quite met…read more 72 miles from London you will find this wide-open station with uncovered platforms and a tiny futuristic-looking bridge that kind of looks like it could fall down at any minute LOL. It has very straight tracks in both directions and the famous picture I have from when I came here several winters ago is when the whole station and both tracks were covered in snow. It serves the area well, but it's pretty remote and it's nearly a mile from the village itself, so it really feels like it's in the middle of nowhere.

Bristol Parkway station is located at the intersection of the lines from London (Paddington) to…read moreSouth Wales and the main line from Bristol to Birmingham, providing a major interchange between the two. It was one of the first 'Parkway' stations to be built, in 1972, to attract car users to trains by providing ample car parking at locations with good road links, close to urban areas. This site was chosen both because of the interchange it offered, and because of its proximity to the M4 and M32, just north of Bristol. When opened, shelter was fairly meagre, with 'bus stop' shelters on the platforms and a small waiting room and ticket office by the entrance to the car park. Because of its exposed and windy position, additional long platform shelters were erected, but it still had a reputation for being a cold place to wait for a train. Over the years, substantial suburbs have developed around Stoke Gifford, and in 2001, a new and much larger station building, with a dramatic curved roofline, was built in recognition of its growing importance. In 2007 an additional platform was constructed on the London-bound (north) side, to provide additional capacity. The station is now used by over 1.75 million passengers a year, with in excess of half a million passengers changing trains here. The station now has heated waiting shelters on the platforms, and the main building has a small shop, cafe and ticket office. Other facilities include a taxi rank, payphones, cash points and bus stops for local bus services (including to Frenchay hospital and Bristol city centre). The station has level access (via lifts to the platforms). The station is served by all long distance trains on the London-South Wales main line and the cross-Country main line from the South-West to Birmingham and the North. It is also served by local services from Gloucester, Westbury and Weston-super-Mare.

However, there are a few things to be aware of: 1. Parking is £5 a day. The payment meters are awkward to operate, and if you don't pay you will get clamped & fined. 2. The car park gets full by 9:30am most days, and if you park outside an official space, you will get clamped (even if you've paid for a ticket). 3. Traffic in the area is hellish at peak hours. Journeys from the motorway to the station can take in excess of 45 mins between 7:30 - 9:00 and 16:00 - 18:00 for the 2 mile journey. The station is fairly new with good facilities: clean toilets, a small newsagent, a coffee shop and a sandwich shop. There are also lifts to all platforms for the disabled.
