221137 Mayflower Pilgrims passes the site of Stonehouse (Bristol Road) station on a gloomy 15 April 2006. It is working the 08:00 Bristol Temple Meads to Newcastle Virgin CrossCountry service. The rusting siding in the undergrowth was in use long after the passenger station closed, as the coal depot on the site survived right up to the Speedlink Coal era, finally closing in 1987. |
