The station is about 5 miles (8 km) north-west of Bristol city centre and close to the M5 motorway.

[1]: 23–24  The BPRP encountered difficulties in 1871, when the terminal pier at Avonmouth became difficult to use due to a build-up of silt.

This was a joint venture by the BPRP, Great Western Railway and Midland Railway which ran from Sneyd Park Junction, south of Sea Mills, via Clifton Down, to join the national network at Narroways Hill Junction.

The transport secretary, Mark Harper, and the Mayor of the West of England, Dan Norris, were present at the opening ceremony on 31 July, but Mayor of Bristol Marvin Rees did not attend as planned and the city council was represented by cabinet member for transport, Councillor Don Alexander.
