A couple of Class 143 DMUs make use of the passing loop at Avonmouth station. This is the view in the direction of Bristol.

Trains don't always run as far as Severn Beach. Sometimes passengers have to depart at Avonmouth and catch a bus the rest of the way.

A quick visit to the station revealed portacabins full of equipment on the platforms.

A trench had been dug on platform 1.
