New Platform
[D] [left] New platform on line in from Main line. West-Somerset trains can use this to transport passengers to the ‘Triangle’ to see the site, and for events to be held in the ‘triangle’ area. Trains from the Main line can also use the platform, and it is planned to put another line in on the other side, so that passengers can change directly onto the West Somerset railway.
