Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Pilning Low Level railway station (site), Gloucestershire
Opened as "Pilning" in 1863 by the Bristol & South Wales Union Railway, later part of the Great Western Railway, on the line from Bristol to New Passage Pier (for ferry connections across the River Severn to Portskewett). This station closed in 1886 at the same time as the Severn railway tunnel opened. However, it reopened (as "Pilning Low Level", to differentiate it from ST5684 : Pilning railway station, Gloucestershire) in 1928 when a new rail connection was built to Severn Beach. It finally closed in 1964. View north west towards Cross Hands, New Passage and Severn Beach. The camera is positioned looking along the former track-bed, the single platform was to the right and sidings were to the left.
