# Talk:Bristol Temple Meads railway station

Lead paragraph states: "and a ferry to the city centre in addition to the train services." What sort of ferry? Water ferry or shuttle bus? Cls14 (talk) 08:37, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

Read the article. But it doesn't give a reason. 81.141.33.92 (talk) 19:01, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

Because one line comes in from the east and the other goes out to the south. Easy. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 00:05, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

For a major station Temple Meads appears not to have had any accidents on the rails. If any were reported or subject to official inquiries it would be worth adding to this Good Article. The only drama I have heard of (apart from WWII bombing), which I recall was depicted in a newspaper artistic impression, was that Winston Churchill as a young Liberal Board of Trade Minister in 1909 was attacked with a whip by a suffragette, Theresa Garnett, at that very station.Cloptonson (talk) 13:59, 7 September 2025 (UTC)

"Woman pokes man with umbrella" doesn't sound worthy of mention in the train article. WP:NOTNEWS is not just for current events. 10mmsocket (talk) 09:06, 8 September 2025 (UTC)
Ignore my comment above. Actually I think you're right having looked at sources, e.g. this by Bristol City Council. It should be added as a notable event. It's also mentioned on her Wikipedia article. 10mmsocket (talk) 09:09, 8 September 2025 (UTC)
See here Railways Archive search; don't know if any of them are worth mentioning....? Regards. The joy of all things (talk) 09:34, 8 September 2025 (UTC)
