Below are most of the articles about the railway or with a connection, that have featured in the local press (and sometimes national media) between 2015 and 2016. The headlines below link to the newspapers’ archived articles or other websites. Unfortunately, the Bristol Post has removed most of its older archived articles, so they are no longer available from this page. Some articles from previous years back to 2005 are still available - see bottom of page. |
