Yatton Railway Station - or Train Station in modern parlance. With only two main lines through the station train traffic could get congested and in the 1930s or earlier loop lines were constructed to the south west and the north east of the station to hold slow moving goods trains and other traffic, allowing expresses and other passenger services to pass at speed. The north east loops ran to an overbridge at Claverham, where there was a signalbox controlling their entry and exit. Loops and box at this side of Yatton went around the time of the Beeching cuts in the 1960s
