Standing in the tunnel under Whiteladies Road looking towards Redland.	A general view of the station. Even on a sunny day the station is plunged into darkness by the buildings that have sprung up around it.	The entrance to the station from Whiteladies Road.	One entrance to the station from the car park is through this rather wonderful gothic arch.
Looking across the footbridge.	Standing on the platform and looking back at the footbridge. The entrance on Whiteladies Road is in the top right corner, the dark tunnel being the road itself.	150261 stands in the station with a service to Temple Meads.	The platform shelter on Platform 1.
The platform shelter on Platform 2.	The signs on the station echo a time when trains from all over the country would head here to give people a day out at Bristol Zoo.	The station building viewed from Platform 1.	Another view of the platform side of the station.
Viewed from the car park. The station building is now a bar.	One corner of the building.	Standing at the end of Platform 1 and looking towards St Johns Road.
