Pill station
Pill station, Bristol
Pill railway station was a railway station near Bristol, England, on the Portishead Railway. It opened in 1867 and closed in 1964. A goods yard just north of the station opened in 1912 and closed in 1963.[1]
Campaigners for the railway line to be reopened for passenger traffic have suggested the re-instatement of a passing loop here and the reopening of the station.[2] However the latest proposals suggest reopening the station, and most of the line, without a passing loop.[3]
