Bristol - Bath 010423 4970
A walk from Bristol to Bath on the former Midland Railway line via Fishponds, Mangotsfield, Warmley and Bitton.
A view westward through Staple Hill Tunnel - and there is light at the end.
Local trains to Bath were withdrawn on and from 7 March 1966, but Birmingham to Bristol trains continued to run through this tunnel until 27 December 1969 when an obstruction caused them to be diverted away, two days before the date it was intended that they should be rerouted anyway.
