Weston-super-Mare railway station

Most trains stopping at Weston-super-Mare are operated by GWR and include two trains per hour to Bristol and one train per hour continuing south to Bridgwater and Taunton. Weston-super-Mare is only half an hour from Bristol by rail and with two trains per hour, a lot of people in Weston commute into Bristol for work.

GWR also stop in Weston-super-Mare en route between Exeter St Davids and London Paddington, although this service operates much less frequently.

Weston-super-Mare is also served by CrossCountry trains, which stop here on the main Cross Country route with trains running to Plymouth in the southwest and north to Birmingham New Street.

The railway station is a five-minute walk southeast of the town centre and a 12-minute walk from the Grand Pier.

The station was opened in 1884 and is a Grade II listed building. It has basic facilities including a ticket office and toilets. Step-free access is available to both platforms, although the Taunton-bound platform can only be accessed via a step bridge from the main station entrance so you’ll need to arrive via the Sunnyside Road entrance if you’re a wheelchair user taking a southbound service.
