Bristol residents have been invited to a community drop-in event later this month to find out additional information about progress on the new station at Brabazon, the brand-new city district being built on the former Filton Airfield, before its grand opening this Autumn.
Recent developments have included the installation of a footbridge, the laying of coping stones along platform edges, the cladding of lift shads and the installation of the first layer of platform surfacing.
Additionally, the past few weeks have seen the erection of a platform canopy, whilst work has continued to fit out the station with key facilities including ticket machines, benches and passenger information screens.
The project is now entering its final stages ahead of opening, and Network Rail, alongside its partners, have invited residents to a community drop-in session to find out more about progress on the new station and what comes next.
Taking place from 15:00 to 19:00 on Tuesday 22 September at the Pegasus Room, Spitfire Hangar (first floor), Frise Street, Brabazon, BS34 4SE; residents and anybody with an interest in the project are invited to drop in any time to find out the latest information and speak with the project team.
Bristol Brabazon station is set to open to passengers this Autumn, with further work planned ahead of the opening of the new Aviva Arena in 2028. The opening of the new station, as well as the return of passenger services on the Henbury Line this autumn, will seek to reconnect communities for the first time since 1964, creating new travel opportunities and helping support one of Britain’s fastest-growing areas.
