We the undersigned are concerned about the possibility of the westbound platform at Pilning Station being closed when the footbridge is removed in September. Pilning is a future growth area for industry and housing. We call on Network Rail to replace the footbridge and keep this station open in both directions so that Great Western Railway can restore a daily commuter service.

Seeing this level of support for Pilning Station leaves me truly stunned. It hits home to see so many people recognize how vital this link is for the future of our area.

Please leave the platforms open its the only way I can visit my daughter when I can't drive. It also allows independence for younger members of the community.
It is imperative that this bridge is not removed and maintained to facilitate passenger movement which will increase substantially as the business parks at pilning and severn beach come into use over the years to come.
Like so many closures it will be regretted in a short time. With all the new industrial sites, access from/to Wales and Bristol will be a huge asset for all concerned - less M4 traffic etc.. All for a ha'porth of tar!
This station has a great potential. If there were a daily service suitable for commuters, it would be ideal for those who work in Newport, Cardiff, Patchway, Bristol and beyond. There are people who live in Pilning and have to drive to Patchway to catch the service - only to go past their own house again!
This is a major opportunity for transport in the region. It has been largely ignored to the point many locals don't even know that the station still operates. Keep it open, replace the bridge and advertise the services: it will bloom
This station has huge potential to help people to reach employment in the enterprise area, western approach etc. Who can't or don't want to drive. Please increase services!
As a Strong All The Stations Fan We Should Put More Footbridges In! And Castle Too!

Please keep both platforms open. My late husband Jonathan King fought hard in the past to try and get more trains stopping at Pilning with any success. He would be horrified to learn that one of the platforms is to close. Please keep Pilning Station open in both directions in Jonathan's memory.
