If was a small fenced off area near platform 2 (the dead end one that goes to Cheltenham & Melksham etc). It had a few dead few dead flowers, a twig & a bowl of water, presumably for an animal of some kind. It now has a plastic cell built on it for use BY BTP. It might well have been used on Friday lunchtime when a group of eggs in chasers were being rowdy on the platform while changing trains to get to Gloucester for Argentina v Georgia.
you've really sold it to me. I can't believe I've never heard of it before.
Yeah, I was waiting for a train in Bristol about an hour before that game kicked off. That narrative of the non violent egg chaser certainly is bullshit.
