Pilning railway station is the only mainline railway station on Severnside, and i consider it is wrong to close the down platform to South Wales, and not replace the footbridge linking east and westbound platforms.

A very important asset to the community or the future and also part of an environmentally friendly transport network

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.

We need to keep this station and have more trains stop here. I was told at an initial meeting re the noise levels that there will be more trains stopping at electrification makes them more efficient and able to stop at more stations

Please keep the footbridge it is needed by the locals in the future. Keep both platforms open

There is so much missed potential in this proposed closure. An extra stop before parkway and regular service options would resolve a lot of travel headache for the community. Why is no-one local ever polled about this?

Pilning Station has great potential. Replace the bridge so that Eastbound and Westbound trains can stop!

As the closest neighbour to Pilning Station, we cannot believe that we were not even consulted regarding the closure of the west bound platform. Furthermore, we cannot believe that with the massive extension of the SW Enterprise Zone and terrible traffic issues in this area that Network Rail is closing the platform and so making the full closure of the station ever nearer. This is the most short-sighted view.

This will be a vital link to South Wales with the industry that is planned in the area. We need this basic infrastructure to remain.

Instead of wasting all the money on HS2, just to get travellers to the North half an hour earlier. Use some money to replace our bridge so that future travellers will be able to access Pilning Station.

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 is important for leisure on Saturdays and would be essential when the industrial estate develops.
