Use the passing loop for a regular Pilning service & keep the central section for high-speed through trains.

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 great potential with the development of the industrial area close by. Close it and you lose a facility that will cost millions in future to re open.

On 6 May 2008 a HST train failed at Pilning & ALL the passengers were eventually detrained to another HST using the footbridge. This is the nearest station on the English side to the Severn tunnel. It already has passing loops. Pilning is the nearest station on the English side to the Severn tunnel. It already has passing loops. What are the equivalent contingency plans in future?

This is ridiculous. There has been no public consultation on this platform closure and should it go ahead I shall take the issue further.

Don't let this be yet another closure that is seen as mistake in the not too distant future.

It would be extremely short sighted.

Pilning is a greatly undervalued asset and should be given a decent level of service, removing access to the down platform will be disastrous.
