This is very welcome - more like this please! New lift at train station finally gets go-ahead www.bristol247.com/news-and-fea...

A new mural has been unveiled at Ashley Down train station on its first anniversary, coinciding with @railway200.bsky.social. Andy Council painted the 24-metre design, which includes local landmarks like the Mem and County Ground, funded by GWR and the combined authority: tinyurl.com/TrainMural

This should help alleviate the chronic shortage of trains on GWR, so it's welcome news: share.google/Wl19H0yHbB9Z... #bristolrail

Full steam ahead for the Bristol & Portishead Line, after the government gave the green light! Trains will run in 2028, with new stations at Pill and Portishead – giving 50,000 more people access to our rail network. 📺 BBC and ITV

So the money for Portishead is finally all in place. Still won't quite believe it until the Orange Army arrives though! #bristolrail BBC News - Another £27m helps to assure Portishead rail line's future - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Heading for GWR Stakeholder Conference today in Swindon. Train from Montpelier to Temple Meads was jam-packed; train to Swindon (heading for London) not so much:

Setting up our stall at Lockleaze Climate and Nature Festival, Gainsborough Square. Drop by for a chat if you're in the area! ##bristolrail

Local landmark this, near Montpelier Station: #bristolrail Bristol's Rainbow Bridge is rainbow again share.google/XTnGo2P8eqYx...

Tram trains in Cardiff. Please can we do something similar in Bristol? www.railadvent.co.uk/2025/06/card...

...and more good news. So... Portishead? www.somersetlive.co.uk/news/somerse...

Good news! Still waiting for an update on Portishead though... #bristolrail BBC News - New railway station for Devon town www.bbc.com/news/article...

We think that tram trains could be a game changer for #bristolrail, connecting Temple Meads to central Bristol: bristolrailcampaign.org.uk/tram-trains-...

Very good news for cleaner air in Bristol. Now how about replacing our 40-year-old diesel trains - maybe with tram trains to connect Temple Meads with central Bristol? #bristolrail www.bristol247.com/news-and-fea...

One of the frustrating things about the Portishead line is the feeling that a few hours of strimming is all it needs for trains to run again... #bristolrail

Bristol Rail Campaign went on a fact-finding trip to Westerleigh area today, to better understand options for improving this nationally significant junction #bristolrail

A small area of the refurbished roof at Temple Meads is finally visible, and it's covered in bird poo! Hope there are plans to keep it clean! #bristolrail

Transit-oriented development. In Bristol. Who knew that could ever be a thing? #bristolrail www.brabazon.co.uk/blog/news/st...

Ann invites you to join her on Saturday 3rd May for a walk from Severn Beach station to Pilning, followed by lunch at the Plough and then catching the afternoon ‘parliamentary train service’ from Pilning Railway station back to Temple Meads. See facebook for details: www.facebook.com/FOSBR?locale...

Just a reminder that you can ask WECA Mayoral Candidates how they plan to improve transport in Bristol, Bath and the West of England at the Watershed on Weds 2nd April. Book here: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/transport-... #bristolrail

Slight exaggeration to describe these trains as 'new', but they're a welcome addition to the fleet! #bristolrail BBC News - Rail company to boost fleet with 26 trains www.bbc.com/news/article...

Keep 'em coming, we say! #bristolrail www.westofengland-ca.gov.uk/news/work-un...

One of the worst-kept secrets in GWR land: these extra trains should go some way to improving reliability: news.gwr.com/news/class-1... #bristolrail

Eyes peeled for contractors' machinery at Portishead and Pill then! #bristolrail www.westofengland-ca.gov.uk/news/43-mill...

Cycle train enters service on the Heart of Wales line https://www.railwaygazette.com/uk/cycle-train-enters-service-on-the-heart-of-wales-line/68368.article

Cornwall is an amazing place to explore by public transport. Really good to see their investment paying off! youtu.be/hG7f8Z0yG9w?...

Brilliant to see Ashton Gate Station back on the agenda, after being ruled out in 2014 #bristolrail news.bristol.gov.uk/press-releas...

Can this really be true? We've waited sooo long, it just doesn't seem possible that they've finally released funding for the biggest no-brainer in the West #bristolrail www.westofengland-ca.gov.uk/news/full-st...

We have made our submission to the Government's Spending Review: bristolrailcampaign.org.uk/wp-content/u...

Work on new station at Charfield is due to start next week! #bristolrail beta.southglos.gov.uk/static/2a578...

Just finished reading Gareth Dennis' 'How the Railways will fix the Future' bit.ly/HowTheRailways. He says: "...take the train. And if you can't take the train, bother someone who has the power to change that." Couldn't agree more! #bristolrail

Trains, trams and buses work. Gadgetbahns, generally speaking, are a good way to spend more money on an inferior system.

Just a reminder that our AGM is TONIGHT! Details here: bristolrailcampaign.org.uk/bristol-rail... #bristolrail

If you're near Charfield today, and interested in the planned new station, there's a drop-in session at the Memorial Hall from 3 to 7 today #bristolrail Charfield 22 January 2025: Charfield Station Drop-in Event, Charfield Memorial Hall cromhall.com/cromhall/e/5...

Good to see Bedminster Station brightened up with brilliant new murals! Now how about improving access and service frequency! #bristolrail New artwork 'adds a little bit of joy' to railway station search.app/daUeQ417SmKF...

“Public transport doesn’t need invention. Just like water and electricity, we've solved the technology challenges for urban and long-distance transport. It’s the political will, not technological capability, that is lacking. We don't need invention; we need implementation.” @garethdennis.bsky.social

Which jingle do you prefer? What would a UK version sound like? youtu.be/ES1DOqr0pQc?...

That'll be amazingly quick work if they manage it. Trains really need to be more frequent though! #bristolrail www.bristol247.com/news-and-fea...

We were super excited to welcome The Everything Electric Show on board to follow our fast-charge battery trial. And we're super proud they were so impressed by our #GWRinnovation www.youtube.com/watch?v=sART...

Out of interest, who DOESN'T think we need trams in Bristol (and Bath)? #bristolrail www.bristol247.com/news-and-fea...

First train ride 2025. Nice to get back on the rails! #bristolrail

Season's Greetings and Best Wishes for the New Year, from all at Bristol Rail Campaign! #bristolrail

Now we're back from West Ealing, here's what we learnt about GWR's battery-powered train: #bristolrail bristolrailcampaign.org.uk/battery-powe...

Had a day at Greenford, where GWR are demonstrating their battery-powered train. Real chance that this tech could speed decarbonisation of local services in the west #bristolrail

ORR figures show Avonmouth, Bedminster, Bridgwater, Clifton Down, Gloucester, Lawrence Hill, Montpelier, Parson Street, Redland, Sea Mills, Shirehampton, Stapleton Road, Weston Milton and Worle had highest ever passenger numbers last year #bristolrail bristolrailcampaign.org.uk/rail-passeng...
