Flax Bourton railway station

[1] The line, engineered by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, was built as 7 ft (2,134 mm) broad gauge.

[4] The original station's main building was at the Bristol (east) end of the eastbound platform, built of wood.

The platforms were accessed by paths from both north and south, linked by a timber footbridge on brick pillars.

[1] More survives of the second station – the main building and goods shed on the eastbound platform are still in situ, albeit boarded-up and crumbling, at the end of a private residential road.

The old Tyntesfield Sidings were considered by the Mineral Industry Research Organisation as a possible railhead for the nearby Tarmac-operated limestone quarry at Stancombe.

Friends of Suburban Bristol Railways in their Autumn 2011 newsletter called for the reopening to be considered in the reletting of the Greater Western passenger franchise.

[17] North Somerset Council also suggested the reopening of Flax Bourton station to help with the sustainability of new housing in the area.
