The track ends just before the tunnel that used to allow trains to come down to what is now tesco's in thornbury. I remember the railyard, the old station house and engine shed before they all got demolished, john shipp had his coal yard there after for many years. My mother has a light from the waiting room hanging over the dining room table.

Pity this line isn't open to passenger traffic. This could take so much traffic off the A38
