Off up to Oldland Station
The train passes under West Street bridge. Alongside the single track is a cycle path and, on the other side of it, a small stream. The track was originally part of the Midland branch line from Mangotsfield: it opened in 1865, became part of the LMS line later and finally closed to official traffic on 7th March, 1966. It is now a preserved railway.
