Summary

Description

Great Western Railway Class 158 diesel multiple unit (DMU) 158 756 stands at Pilning station with the 2C67 0755 Cardiff Central to Taunton service on Saturday 16th January 2016. Pilning station – which lies just to the east of the Severn Tunnel has just one service in each direction each week (both on Saturdays). In the UK there are a number of sections of railway line or stations where the service has been reduced to the bare legal minimum (normally one train in each direction), hence the name ‘parliamentary train’. Pilning is an example of the latter where the railway line itself is intensively used, but the station only receives the minimum service of a weekly train call in each direction.

Having just alighted from the train at Pilning I just about had enough time to get a photo of the train before it departed for its next stop of Patchway. In 2015 Pilning was the sixth least used station in the UK (based on its total estimated 68 passenger entries and exits).
