Clevedon Branch Line
The Clevedon branch line was a branch railway line that ran from Yatton railway station on the Bristol to Taunton Line to Clevedon in North Somerset, England, with no intermediate stops.
It was opened on 28 July 1847 by the Bristol and Exeter Railway. Initially it was built as broad gauge but was converted to standard gauge in 1879.〔M V Searle, ''Lost Lines: An Anthology of Britain's Lost Railways'', New Cavendish Books, page 103〕
==History==
Seaside resorts became fashionable during the early years of the reign of Queen Victoria. When the Bristol and Exeter Railway (B&ER) opened its main line (at first to Bridgwater) in 1841, a station was provided at "Clevedon Road", about distant. In the 1845 the B&ER obtained the necessary Parliamentary sanction to open a branch line to the town.〔E T MacDermot, ''History of the Great Western Railway'', volume II, published by the Great Western Railway, London, 1932〕 The line was opened on 28 July 1847;.〔
Starting from Clevedon Road station, which was renamed at the same time, it was 3 miles 45 chains (5.7 km) long. Branch trains had a bay platform on the upside with an over-all roof. The line was built to the broad gauge but converted to the standard gauge over the weekend 27 to 29 September 1879.〔〔Derek Phillips, ''Steaming Through the Cheddar Valley'', Oxford Publishing Co., Hersham, 2001, ISBN 0 86093 551 5〕
