Pill

Some of us may remember a song by Adge Cutler : 'Pill, Pill, I love thee still'. Pill is a real place and also the local name for a tidal creek. Crossing this is a viaduct on the line from Bristol to Portishead. 82032 was hauling a train to Bristol in 1960. The branch lay dormant for many years, was later reopened as far as Portbury for freight and there is talk of passenger services once again.
