Thornbury (Gloucestershire) railway station

The station was the terminus of a short 7.5-mile (12 km) branch from Yate on the Midland Railway's line between Bristol and Gloucester.

The station was designed by the Midland Railway company architect John Holloway Sanders.

Later trains appear to have run through to and from Bristol Temple Meads, though the service was never frequent.

It remained open for goods traffic until 1966 and was used extensively in the construction of the first Severn road bridge and the Oldbury Power Station.

From the 1990s onwards various proposals have been made for reopening the line to Thornbury as part of a Bristol/South Gloucestershire suburban rail network, most recently in a consultation report produced by Halcrow Group in 2012,[5] as well as the November 2015 joint transport study report produced by The West of England Local Enterprise Partnership.
