Mendip Vale station ramp bottom end is left; from the brakevan in the run round loop.<br>[© Angus McDougall 2011]	A photo stop at the now demolished Cranmore West station during our previous railtour, organised by your now BLN Editor on Sun 16 Oct 2011 for our 2011 Bristol AGM that weekend. Looking towards Cranmore. The party mostly travelled between Bristol and the three fixtures that day by heritage double decker bus and there were too many of them for the brakevan so some had to ride in this spacious loco cab!<br>[© Angus McDougall 2011]	Photo stop at Merryfield Lane, where we were able to do some of that siding, right, looking towards Mendip Vale.<br>[&copy; Kev Adlam 2024]	If only .... seen during our photo stop at Merryfield Lane.<br>[© Kev Adlam 2024]	Near the end of a former Bitumen Sidings (for unloading) at Cranmore; the slightly longer one is left.<br>[&copy; Alan Sheppard 2024]	The former bitumen sidings on 16 Oct 2011 visited by our tour that day - the station is right <br>[&copy; Angus McDougall 2011]
53 years ago at Cranmore looking east with https://tinyurl.com/bddxrb5c (a Somerset Rambler railtour that did some good stuff). Note bitumen tanks in the sidings left - this was then a British Rail freight terminal.<br>[&copy; Angus McDougall 1971]
