A brand new station for Bristol will finally begin to take shape this weekend as Network Rail start a 16-day, round-the-clock effort to install two new platforms.
The new station at Ashley Down has been talked about for years, but from today (Saturday, June 3) Network Rail will get the bulk of the work to build the station, with platforms on either side of main Bristol to Gloucester line, close to Gloucestershire CC’s cricket stadium.
The work will see disruption for local residents and passengers on rail services into Temple Meads until Monday, June 19, when the work should be completed.
