MetroWest rail upgrades
Transforming rail travel in the West of England
MetroWest is programme of railway upgrades funded by the West of England Combined Authority. It will generate a million new rail journeys and give more than 80,000 more people access to trains across Bath and North East Somerset, Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire.
What are the benefits?
More trains will be provided on existing routes to Bristol Temple Meads and new routes and stations will be opened. Phase one will see the Portishead line reopened and phase two will bring passengers trains to North Filton and Henbury.
