We spent one hour at Patchway station, which is the station on the north leg of the wye connecting Bristol and Newport. Each leg of the wye has its own station.

Bristol, England

Bristol is a major west coast city near the border with Wales.

June 15th, 2009

We were invited to stay with a family friend in Wellington, near Taunton, and tour the West Somerset Railway. We boarded the train at Reading station and went across to Newport, Wales, returning via Bristol and heading down to Taunton for the next day's trip. At Newport, we went to a bridge and watched for about 30 minutes. Moments after we left, a train came over with a pair of rare Class 67s! Grumbling at the loss, I was more than a little surprised to have the same train return a few minutes later and take us to Taunton.
