Why would they build a mainline railway to an area with no people in it. "They" didn't. The railway was built to move goods from the port of Bristol to London. all the local station were still build long before the airport was 'comercialised'. Why did they do this if there was no-one living (or expecting to move) there? tim |

You said, "railway more or lesss followed the track of the Bath Road an ancient track and a turnpike" indicates that the two are close to each other for most or all of the distance, they're not. Except for a couple of locations, they don't even get close. |
