Construction work on a new train station in Ashley Down is due to begin early next year and should be completed in 2024. The new station will be built on the railway between Temple Meads and Filton Abbey Wood, with services eventually running to the new YTL Arena too.
The station will be built off Station Road, just south of the Ashley Down allotments. Building work means part of the Concorde Way cycling route will be temporarily closed off, with a diversion route along Boiling Wells Lane. It’s expected the station will run half-hourly trains.
The starting date for works should be confirmed after a West of England combined authority meeting approves funding for the project next month. The progress was welcomed by the mayor, who said the station would connect people to jobs, education and leisure.
