 * GA review (see here for criteria)

I have tackled the prose and NPOV issues in the Lead and Description sections. I have also made some changes to the Lead and History sections stimulated by the covearge comments, but would welcome a fresh pair of eyes. The Refs need a more detailed check.

 * I've marked off a few things. I'd still mention Brunel was a railway engineer in the intro; most of us haven't heard of him. &mdash; Rob (  talk  ) 16:55, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Second railway platform?
Is there one, per a comment added in a recent edit? &mdash; Rob (  talk  ) 16:09, 6 July 2008 (UTC)


 * By second platform, do you mean platform 2? There is such a place; the Lead is correct in saying: platform 2 is not signalled for passenger trains, while this is expanded in the Description to describe it as: another bay platform but ... is not signalled for passenger services and is now only used for stabling empty trains.


 * You can see it in the Image:Bristol Temple Meads from Bath Road bridge.jpg at the top of the Twetieth Century section – it is the track on the left that is overgrown by weeds! Geof Sheppard (talk) 12:46, 8 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Okay, I just wondered why someone added the comment then. Thanks! &mdash; Rob (  talk  ) 17:37, 8 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I'm the guilty party here, and have been busy elsewhere (hence belated response). I only leave in-line comments like this when I 'know' that another editor is watching my proof-reading efforts of his work and hence can choose to respond quickly without starting a detailed talk-page discussion...
 * In this case the 'first platform island' is mentioned, followed by the 'third platform island', and the 'final platform island'. So, what about the 'second platform island'??
