Most recently, improved lighting and CCTV has been provided and for the first time since construction, electronic train arrival boards with automated voice announcements have been provided on both platforms and also a silent, less detailed digital arrivals / departures board adjacent to the ticket office.

[7] Services between London Paddington and Weston-super-Mare call at Worle in the early morning and evening, running non-stop between Bristol Temple Meads and Nailsea & Backwell.

All trains call at Weston-super-Mare westbound, and at Yatton and Nailsea & Backwell, but not all stop at Weston Milton.

[14] Occasional Great Western Railway intercity services between London and Weston-super-Mare or Taunton and Exeter also pass through non-stop.

[4][16][17] The station at Worle was developed as a joint initiative between British Rail and Avon County Council.

It cost £700,000 and was built using lightweight construction materials due to being sited on marshy ground.

[16] The station was opened on 24 September 1990 by Councillor Betty Perry, the chair of Avon Council.

[16] Upon the privatisation of British Rail in 1997, services were franchised to Wales & West, which was in turn succeeded in 2001 by Wessex Trains, an arm of National Express.

[21][22][23][24] Great Western Railway services to and from London Paddington started calling at Worle in 2007.

[25] The works, part of a large transport scheme called the Weston Package, included construction of a new council run car park containing 320 spaces on the South side of the station, better facilities for cyclists and motorcyclists, and a bus interchange.

[26][27] The expansion took over unused land to the east and south of the station, and required the removal of slowworms and grass snakes to a nature reserve in Cheddar.

[28] The work, which started in April 2013, was completed later the same year with the new car park opening on 3 September 2013.

[26][29] Worle has had a large number of incidents of railway vandalism and antisocial behaviour, and the stretch of line through Worle is considered one of the most vandalised in the United Kingdom – obstructions have been left on the line and stones have being thrown at railway staff.

[36][37] The group Friends of Suburban Bristol Railways supports the electrification of the line through Nailsea & Backwell,[38][39] as does MP for Weston-super-Mare John Penrose.
