A merged view looking south from the footbridge at Stapleton Road station in Bristol.<br>
Currently the main line between Bristol Temple Meads and Bristol Parkway/South Wales is two lines, but it was previously a four track section of railway. As such the stations on the line also had four platforms, the two disused ones at Statpleton Road are seen on the left of this image, and only about half the length of the current platforms are in use for passengers.<br>
The signal on the right is a bridge repeater for signal B235 at the north end of the station that protects Narroways Junction, where the Severn Beach Line diverges from the mainline. Stapleton Road station was precviously the key interchange between trains on both lines, but presently only trains on the Severn Beach stop throughout the day and the main interchange is at Bristol Temple Meads.
