Opened in 1903 by the Great Western Railway on the line from Bristol to the Severn Tunnel, this station replaced the first Filton station immediately south of here. In turn, this station closed in 1997 and was replaced by Filton Abbey Wood station, some 400m behind the camera position. View north from a passing train heading for Bristol Parkway. The two lines to the left head for the Severn Tunnel. Some platforms were still extant when this image was taken but the buildings had all been demolished.
