Welcome

The Portishead Railway Group has long campaigned for the Portishead to Bristol railway line to be re-opened. Portishead, as a rapidly growing town badly needs a rail connection, and all recent studies have shown that this is commercially sound and financially affordable.

Re-opening is a key part (Phase 1B) of the MetroWest project which will link and upgrade the railway system in the Bristol area. The go-ahead has been announced and preparatory work should commence in Autumn 2025.
