• 
  Approaching Severn Beach from the road.
• 
  The end of the line.
• 
  This wasn't always the end of the line. The railway used to continue through the set of gates visible behind the buffer stop. This particular track isn't connected to the branch any more.
• 
  So this is actually the end of the line :)
• 
  Looking along the platform taking in the platform shelter and station paraphernalia.
• 
  The view west with Avonmouth in the background.
• 
  The view from the end of the platform.
• 
  Looking along the line. It looks like a very bumpy ride.
• 
  Looking back along the platform.
• 
  The area alongside the station used to contain a carriage siding which held summer specials when the people in the Midlands visited Severn Beach in their droves. Later it was used as a head shunt and for storage of wagons using the near bye ICI works.
• 
  A brook passes under the station.
• 
  This row of houses occupy the site of the old Severn Beach station building.
