St Annes Park station is a proposed stop between Bristol Temple Meads and Keynsham, on the main line to Bath. It could provide a high quality public transport service in an area where road links are poor.

Timeline
2020
Kerry McCarthy, supported by Councillor Tim Rippington, submits successful bid to the Ideas Fund of the Department for Transport (DfT) Restoring Your Railway scheme. This scheme was set up to help develop proposals to reopen closed railway lines and stations. The DfT Ideas Fund will contribute 75% of costs up to £50,000 to create a business case. Future funding to develop the project will be subject to agreement of the business case.
The new station’s catchment area would extend to St Philips, Brislington, Redfield, and to St George using a new river crossing for pedestrians and cycle users.
The scheme proposal is included in WECA’s 10-year rail plan.

2017
West of England Joint Transport Study says consideration should be given to the case for reopening the station.
Potential for relocating the station to a site west of Langton Court Road is raised. The original station was east of the Newbridge Road bridge. The alternative location, a few hundred metres closer to Bristol Temple Meads, would allow more space for passing loops and platforms and permit fast services to have priority on the main Bristol-Bath line.
