A new station serving Bristol's new arena and other development on the former Filton Airfield has been officially named Bristol Brabazon. The station is being built in two stages with the first due to open in autumn 2026. A second construction phase will increase capacity of the station ready for the new 20,000-capacity Aviva Arena.
The new station is mainly funded by the West of England Mayoral Combined Authority, with contributions from South Gloucestershire Council, Bristol City Council, North Somerset Council and GWR, with Network Rail as a key partner.
