.Regarding the "Signalling Notice To Trainmen" ref BR. 31400/2 dated January 1972 covering the commissioning of Stage 10 of the Bristol M.A.S. scheme, (link in "Weston Super Mare Bay Platform "thread!) I noted the closed Brent Knoll station was still marked on the diagram adjacent to signal DM142 on the Down Line!
. . .I understand Brent Knoll closed to passengers about a year before the M.A.S. Stage 10 came into service – was there any reason why this station (virtually in the middle of nowhere!) lasted seven years after almost all other W.R. main–line village stations had gone by Winter 1964? I believe it was "ghostly" for a number of years prior to final closure!
P.S. Did it get Totems or other B.R. (W.R.) Enamel Signage?
