I feel that the diagram would make more sense working from Temple Meads to Severn Beach, rather than the other way round. Also, is it possible to add a greyed-in link to Pilning? -mattbuck (Talk) 20:24, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
- It is possible, and we could simplify the route diagram at the same time. How so would this greyed-in link whatnot go and work? Kevin Steinhardt (talk) 20:40, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
- I'm working on a map atm, but just learning the syntax so bear with me. Will post it here once I get it done. -mattbuck (Talk) 23:00, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
- OK, that's my current draft. One niggle is that the tile in column 3 of the penultimate row isn't right - this is because the tile I want apparently doesn't exist yet (crossing, vertical tunnel, horizontal disused). It includes all old sidings and also the Hotwells station which was demolished when the Portway was built. For the disused bit, I'm also a bit dubious about some of the crossings - I don't know which existed when the track was actually there, so made a guess. Oh, and Pilning interchange is too large. Comments? -mattbuck (Talk) 03:48, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, but no; most certainly no. *draws his own draft* Kevin Steinhardt (talk) 19:16, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
- No problem, it was my first attempt at anything like this, and I don't think it's that good either. -mattbuck (Talk) 19:27, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

That's okay; please do stick to design standards, and don't overcomplicate things. Here's what I was thinking. Kevin Steinhardt (talk) 19:31, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
- My issue is that currently it seems to be very strange about what it omits and what it allows - what makes the M32 worth mentioning but the A38 not? Also, why put in level crossings over what are frankly pretty minor roads, when something like one train every 2hrs actually crosses them. I'd still like to see the old Pilning and Hotwells stations mentioned though - Hotwells was why the line was started in the first place. That and IMO it should still be the other way up :p -mattbuck (Talk) 19:37, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
- Let's try stations and major junctions, and work from there. Kevin Steinhardt (talk) 19:42, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
- Cool. I'll probably be starting a Hotwells station page soonish, so it won't be redlinked too long. -mattbuck (Talk) 19:56, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
- Have created a Hotwells railway station article - feel free to add. Jezhotwells (talk) 22:39, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
Hotwells Halt
editHi, I haven't heard of this before. Not saying you are wrong, do you know where it was? Jezhotwells (talk) 16:08, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
- Well, it's in my book on Bristol Railway Stations 1840-2005 by Mike Oakley, so I assume he knows what he's on about. It was open from 1917-1922 as a commuter service for dockers. -mattbuck (Talk) 19:28, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
- It isn't just another name for Hotwells (formerly Clifton) station is it? The maps on both the Hotwells railway station and Hotwells Halt railway station articles show the same location. Jezhotwells (talk) 09:09, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
- That's because I used the Hotwells article as a template and forgot to remove it. I don't know the precise location. -mattbuck (Talk) 10:27, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
