Pilning is actually very much still in "Modern Gloucestershire", it's just the county is regarded as a ceremonial county these days comprised partly of the two-tier Gloucestershire county council area and the unitary South Gloucestershire. Many counties such as Berkshire and Cheshire don't have a single county council at all these days, so really ceremonial counties are the only game in town.

I lived in nearby Bradley Stoke for a few years, and used to enjoy sitting at Pilning for a few hours watching the world go by. Was a great place to see the original Valenta HSTs at full power on the climb to Patchway. Years later, I started working for Network Rail and found myself at Pilning in a professional capacity, and it was a huge change. Electrification hadn’t happened, but most of the services had been withdrawn already. The footbridge was a great place to get shots of the tunnel entrance with a good zoom lens.

We lived in Cardiff and between 1959-63 and my father used the car link from Severn Tunnel Junction many times for work and always for holidays to Cornwall. The passengers travelled in a single coach and were deposited on platform 1. On return we had to wait on PLATFORM 2 while the cars were loaded, but had to stand back as the express trains from London were at full speed heading into the tunnel. These were all steam trains, Castles and Kings and is a memory that survives until today.

It probably doesn't help Pilning that Severn Beach station is not much further away from Pilning village than Pilning station is, and Severn Beach has an hourly service into Bristol (albeit by a different route) (Edit having measured, Severn Beach is /Slightly/ closer at 1.7km vs 1.9km - measured from the centre of the village)

With only two trains on a Saturday and both running in the same direction making a return trip impossible it's pretty much fated to only get worse from here on out unfortunately. I feel like stations like this are destined to eventually lose all service and practically useless service levels like this only exists so the rail line can claim they haven't closed the station yet.

The reason for the 1532 / 1558 confusion is because the 1500 Cardiff-Penzance is now worked by a Class 800 which are not currently permitted to stop at Pilning (software reasons - Hitachi!) and therefore the 1528 Cardiff-Portsmouth is currently standing in. The posters clearly haven’t been updated!

Truth be told, there probably isn’t any kind of problem. “A software issue” seems to be a common excuse pumped out by a multitude of companies these days to get them out of doing things that they don’t want to do. I had the same experience with my energy supplier and my smart meter. If they say it’s “a software issue” most people quietly accept that it’s unfixable and don’t pursue it.

They removed footbridges at Polesworth and Briech in Scotland (on the Shotts line) also. Breech was for electrification purposes also , but that built earthwork banks up to the nearby main road to maintain acces to both platforms. Polesworth was not so fortunate, resulting in a similar situation to Pilning.

Until just a few monts ago, me (a young teenage trainspotter) and my grandad (experienced trainspotter from the 60’s) went here because it commonly had high amounts of freights during the mid-day and convoys aswell. This was a really great place and it is where some of my best train videos come from. Even thought we only stopped a few months ago (because we realised that Severn Tunnel Junction had slightly more freights) this video seems really nostalgic and everything from the help point to the waiting room and even the entrance gate was incredibly nice to see again. Great memories from here and i’m glad you made a video of it Geoff!

I used to live down that way. I was never there but saw it either on maps or signposted when out on the bike. It reminds me of the land between Dundee and Perth: fields bordered by hills you could see for miles from, and an underused station (Errol which closed on Sept 30th, 1985). It's like a hidden bit of Gloucestershire It's a shame it lost its footbridge. Maybe I missed something here but foot bridges and 25KV overhead can live happily side by side. It's a shame about everything really. A lot of potential. Pilning, if it isn't already, is also the sort of word that should be in Douglas Adams' book, The Meaning of Liff (which is a wee village on the other side of Dundee).

When I was in Scotland on holiday last month, I was on a train from Wemyss Bay to Glasgow and enroute passed through the now abandoned station of IBM. In some ways, it reminded me of Redcar British Steel, prior to closure, it served a factory that had long closed before the trains stopped serving it. Just goes to show that building stations to access only a worksite is only of use so long as the site remains in use, otherwise it's short term thinking.
