I love watching this and going "hey, I used to live there, well not THERE there, I was miles away from the rail line because Bristol just does not have enough railw..."
I used to live quite close to Montpelier Station, and one of the things I like about the Severn Beach Line is coming out at the other end of the industrial area by the docks and onto a rather pretty stretch of rural riverside line into Severn Beach itself.
At least you got to Bristol Temple Meads from Ashley Down. Awesome video and nice to see familiar faces in this as well but those connections were very tight!
Nice! I can tell this was a challenge with the half hourly/hourly Severn Beach line. Would love to see you guys visit all the stations in Exeter as well. Despite it's size it has 10 stations.
If you'd had a few more minutes at Sea Mills you should have walked down to the level crossing and gone out to get the view of the river, especially if the tide was in. It's a nice quiet spot. I don't think I've ever got on or off a train there but occasionally stop off when cycling.
Great fun. Both my sons live in Bristol so all these are familiar to me in one way or another. The Severn Beach line has some great little stations and the area around Montpellier and Clifton Downs stations is great to explore. Glad you both had a great time.
Gwrboos a plenty Nick Bristol is a City and County not often you get that , The Seven Rivera Service is a blessing for those of us that live here makes life so much easier.
London has 6 airports all with their own stations (3 in Heathrow's case, so 8 stations for the 6 airports, 9 or 10 counting the Luton DART connecting the airport to Parkway station)
Love your vids Nick and Natt. Following on from River River, the village of Breedon on the hill in Leicestershire when broken down into Celtic Old English and Modern English means 'Hill Hill on the Hill'.
Briefly ran into you between Redland and Clifton Down, you got the proper Severn Beach Line experience there. The signal at Clifton Down is a way round the bend, which I think explains why trains heading towards Temple Meads will depart the station and sit literally ten feet beyond the end of the platform if the single-line isn’t clear. It’s always really confused me. Chances are, if it hadn’t “already left”, you would’ve made it! Glad to see you made them all and it didn’t affect your day too much.
Hi Nick, never realised there were so many stations in Bristol, although i do live down near Exeter. Maybe you two could do an "all stations" in Exeter video, there are 10 stations including Topsham. Reu.
Aye, I like it when the dynamic duo are on the case....Nick you sounded really keen on the 25 minute walk.....well done though for completing the task without the duo falling out.
Would be nice to see if GWR were to run more extra trains and to reopen and reinstate some of the services that could soon be reopened. Including Henbury branch line, Portishead branch line and to reinstate some of the other local services including Bristol Temple Meads-Pilning and brand new stations to be added. Including at Pill, Portbury, Henbury, Filton North and Ashton Gate.
Nice to see you starting at the new Ashley Down railway station. I think that the new railway station looks really nice. GWR & Network Rail should reopen and reinstate some of the railway lines in the Bristol area. And to reopen some of the railway stations including Henbury, Portishead and a new railway station at Ashton Gate to serve Bristol City FC Ashton Gate stadium.
A good hard days work, you must have got your station count up. If you want station murals try my front garden wall at Attenborough (Jen and Simon have been there recently) or the down platform at Pokesdown.
Last time I was in Bristol Temple Meads, my XC train got cancelled there and I had to wait over an hour for the next train. This wasn't even the worst part. Met a cute ginger girl while waiting, but forgot to ask for a name or number. So yeah, not great memories of that station
Me and my friend have been trying to do this for months lol. It takes two hours to get to Bristol then you don't have much time. I've just got Parson street and Ashley Down left. The heart of Wessex rover includes seven beach.
I remember watching videos of freight going through some stations in the Greater Bristol area in early 2020 and making plans to go and experience it too, then the sodding pandemic kicked in, I was so fed up! 🤨
Hey Nick! I have seen from Riku's videos they were in this video. I did see you walk by. If you saw someone with Riku flying a drone, that was me. I remember seeing you walk past lol
No station has needed a second entrance as much as Bristol TM, the number if times I have been in an interminable queue trying to get out of that bloody station.
It’s gotten a lot better since they opened the exit gates on platform 3/4. Before then, morning commute was a pain when two intercity trains arrived at the same time - queues forming half way down the underground concourse. But, I agree, a second exit would be nice.
Is St Andrews Road still a request stop? It actually looks a lot more scenic than it did, last time I was there - as it used to be pretty much hemmed in by the vertical pipework of the local chemical works; though the very first time I went there, it still had its second platform! Avonmouth has been served by no less than four stations during the lifetime of its railways, by the way, for in the distant past it did have its share of transatlantic passenger traffic serving a fancier, quayside station whose trains were I think cut back to the present station for a brief time before they ceased. Hence, the very long platforms - of which there was rusty track in a third, during my first visit... Now, as we caught only the merest glimpse of it in your haste to reach Shire, was the car park at Portway P&R almost empty? I've always wondered how well it would do, given the relatively infrequent bus and train services to 'ride' within... As for the Portishead Line, even if they'd restore a passenger service to the rather isolated community of Ashton Gate, it'd have been a good start!
Can you do Gillingham (Kent) to Gillingham (Dorset) next Please, Point to Point. Bromley North to Bromley South, Pointless Journeys please. I would really appreciate it if you could pick 1 to do and say it was a comment idea
That road was not closed to pedestrian. You could have walked through the shell garage at the bottom of the road. But you walked the way I would normally have walked anyway
Personally youe comment about the industrial area is out of order, as foe someone that works there myself what was your aim at the point you made?? Was you basically saying that our jobs are not useful, you do realise there areas are where your foods are packed! So rude

It's hard to imagine for me Bristol Parkway, Severn Beach, Filton Abbey Wood, etc not 'officially' being Bristol, but here we are!
I forgot abt parkway
Yeah, they are all in South Gloucestershire, but Filton Abbey Wood so close to the Bristol, near the border...
I love watching this and going "hey, I used to live there, well not THERE there, I was miles away from the rail line because Bristol just does not have enough railw..."
I love thee now
Near the new Ashley down station
Thanks!

10 is debatable... all depends on whether you class Topsham as part of Exeter (yes, I will be when I visit/video all 10!)
If you'd had a few more minutes at Sea Mills you should have walked down to the level crossing and gone out to get the view of the river, especially if the tide was in. It's a nice quiet spot. I don't think I've ever got on or off a train there but occasionally stop off when cycling.
"We don't have a Will" - I love lingual humour 😂

Gwrboos a plenty Nick
Bristol is a City and County not often you get that ,
The Seven Rivera Service is a blessing for those of us that live here makes life so much easier.
Stapleton Rd to Lawrence Hill is very quick by foot if you know the short cuts, the Bristol to Bath cyclepath being part of it!
Great vlog on visiting every station in Bristol Nick.
Big up Bedminster & Parson Street!
Great video, very impressive work!
Interesting video as I'm planning much the same itinerary in a couple of weeks, albeit with the stations to Weston and Bath thrown in as well.
Being bristolian born and bred been on this line many times. Nice to see Shirehampton again my nearest station.
Good work. I have fond memories of the Avonmouth line and some of the stations/places along the way.
Nice one!
Suggestions: for visiting every station in: Brighton and Hove (9)/
Hastings (4). Every London airport station (5) I think.
London has 6 airports all with their own stations (3 in Heathrow's case, so 8 stations for the 6 airports, 9 or 10 counting the Luton DART connecting the airport to Parkway station)
@NicholasPayne01 Oh yeah thanks for correction.

Brilliant video Nick, all that walking between stations lol. Good thing you managed to do this despite delays and cancelled trains in places.
I'm looking fwd to going to the new station. Haven't done that yet. Nice to see the places I know.
Hi Nick, never realised there were so many stations in Bristol, although i do live down near Exeter. Maybe you two could do an "all stations" in Exeter video, there are 10 stations including Topsham. Reu.
Good old turbos. I love a good turbo. Especially when it’s deep green 😎
Greetings from Australia. Nice video Natt and Nick and also a Jenonthemove cameo as well.
Aye, I like it when the dynamic duo are on the case....Nick you sounded really keen on the 25 minute walk.....well done though for completing the task without the duo falling out.
Every station in Bristol it was a good video GWR
Thank you for sharing Nick.
Would be nice to see if GWR were to run more extra trains and to reopen and reinstate some of the services that could soon be reopened. Including Henbury branch line, Portishead branch line and to reinstate some of the other local services including Bristol Temple Meads-Pilning and brand new stations to be added.

you better have gone the pub with them.
A good hard days work, you must have got your station count up.

Yeah , a new youtube video for My favourite UA-cam.

I need to stop finding my face in all of these videos 😂
I remember watching videos of freight going through some stations in the Greater Bristol area in early 2020 and making plans to go and experience it too, then the sodding pandemic kicked in, I was so fed up! 🤨
Great video Nick
Hey Nick! I have seen from Riku's videos they were in this video. I did see you walk by. If you saw someone with Riku flying a drone, that was me. I remember seeing you walk past lol
Lovely video. What sort of Ranger was you using?
I would imagine they tap in and tap out
Would you consider doing every station on the cross city line? I often watch your videos while trundling up and down it 😂
My friend talked to you at Holton on the 15th
Would you able to do all the stations in Gloucestershire if you can :) !!
Please do all stations in Buckinghamshire
No station has needed a second entrance as much as Bristol TM, the number if times I have been in an interminable queue trying to get out of that bloody station.

You are brave doing this without a plan. I'd need both a plan and a day for acclimatization practice
Is that the guy from Geoffs British Steel video there with you?
My daily commuting dilemma - Redland or Montpelier.

I have a video idea for you do a point to point bury in greater Manchester to bury saint Edmund’s in Suffolk
Jack In The Crack In The Midnight Black
Jesus you went to my local (parson street) if I knew I would've come down
Would have loved to meet you
Bristols official title is the city and county of bristol
I can't lie, I'd love to do a pointless journey with Nick one day. Doubtful it will ever happen though 😢
good morning sweethearts
What about Bristol parkway
I know someone that lives right near there who still uses Bristol council bins. Bit weird but true
Despite being called Bristol, that's in South Gloucestershire (as indeed is Filton Abbey Wood)
You forgot Keynsham Filton Abbey Wood
Can you do Gillingham (Kent) to Gillingham (Dorset) next Please, Point to Point.
Bromley North to Bromley South, Pointless Journeys please.
I would really appreciate it if you could pick 1 to do and say it was a comment idea
I'd love for you two to do your own all the station like Geoff did back in 2017, you make some really interesting you tubes, it would be great 👌
That road was not closed to pedestrian. You could have walked through the shell garage at the bottom of the road. But you walked the way I would normally have walked anyway
what about filton abby wood
It’s in South Gloucestershire
Bit of a pointless video as you never show much of the stations
Personally youe comment about the industrial area is out of order, as foe someone that works there myself what was your aim at the point you made?? Was you basically saying that our jobs are not useful, you do realise there areas are where your foods are packed! So rude
