A major milestone for Brabazon: Bristol Brabazon, the West of England’s newest railway station, will open to passengers on Monday 23 November 2026.
Funded by the West of England Combined Authority and the Department for Transport, and delivered by Network Rail and partners, the station will restore passenger services to the Henbury Line for the first time since 1964.
The station will be an important part of the new city district we’re delivering at Brabazon, connecting future residents, businesses and visitors.
As one of the UK’s largest new urban developments, Brabazon has been designed with connectivity at its heart.
Bristol Brabazon station will accommodate the high volumes of passengers expected to travel to the new neighbourhood and the future 20,000-capacity Aviva Arena. It will make Brabazon easier to reach by public transport and support more sustainable travel as the area grows.
Bristol Brabazon is also the first of two new stations planned within the West Innovation Arc Mayoral Development Zone, supporting the continued growth of the West of England’s engineering, technology and aerospace sectors.
Our CEO Colin Skellett said: “The opening of Bristol Brabazon station is a landmark moment for Brabazon New Town and the wider area. It connects people to homes, jobs and opportunities, supports investment and helps unlock sustainable economic growth.
“We are pleased to be working with The Mayoral Combined Authority to enable Brabazon and the wider Western Innovation Arc to become a key component of the long-term sustainable growth of the West of England.”
