Revamp New lift to make station accessible for all after 160 years

Plans have been submitted to install a new lift to make the station accessible to everyone.

This would make the railway station, which first opened in 1863, step-free. The project is set to be funded by the West of England Mayoral Combined Authority.

Network Rail has submitted the plans to Bristol City Council, subject to final business case approval in the autumn. If approved by the local planning authority, the scheme would see a lift installed on platform two (the southbound platform heading towards Bristol Temple Meads) which currently only has steps.

Platform one currently has step-free access through the Lidl car park. Pictures of how the new lift and stairs would look have been submitted as part of the application.
