	Severn Beach Line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The current line runs from Narroways Junction to Severn Beach, but it is a successor to an earlier railway, known as the Bristol Port Railway and Pier, which ran from a Bristol terminus in the Avon Gorge to a station and pier on the Severn Estuary.
		The line was recently highlighted by Thomas Cook as one of the scenic lines of Europe.
		A freight-only line known as the "Henbury Loop" connects Avonmouth with Bristol Parkway station on the London-South Wales and Bristol-Birmingham routes.

	Modern Severn Bridges
		The bridge is not far from the line of the Severn tunnel, which was a great feat of engineering, built from 1874 to 1886.
		This new Severn bridge is quite close to the ferry crossing that was used by the Romans in the days of the empire, illustrating, as many Severn bridges do, that the number of good crossing points is limited, and that people will use them during long periods of time.
		The river Severn passes under this viaduct at the eastern end; east of the river span there is only a span over the steep bank of the river.

		The ability to reach Severn Beach is particularly important for cyclists, as it means that they can get out of Bristol without having to negotiate their way through the very hilly north-west of the city, and can use signed cycle routes into Gloucestershire and onto the Severn Bridge.

	Live from the Third Rail: Archive
		Tracks on branch railway lines are to be torn up and replaced with concrete channels, under plans to attract people out of cars by replacing trains with buses.
		We've established, time and time again, that bus lines do not draw the same amount of riders as rail lines, largely due to issues of comfort, speed, and the general mentality around bus use.
		Replacing the Severn Beach line would be a disastrous failure, because it will be exchanging the last few miles of track shared with main line trains with crowded city streets.

		The consequence of the growth in housing and population in Portishead, combined with inadequate transport infrastructure, has resulted in what is now probably the most overcrowded cul-de-sac in Britain.
		The original railway line came into being to meet one of Brunel's schemes to operate a steamship service to America.
