Track Clearance 2015  

New clearance of vegetation from the trackbed from Portishead to Pill took place between January and March 2015, to enable a full topographical survey to be undertaken in Spring 2015. Further clearance was done during 2015. This was needed so that GRIP 3 & 4 engineering design work can progress. See News 19 Jan 2015.


Track clearance now takes place annually to ensure continued survey access and to reduce overgrowth in preparation for the construction phase.
