Winterbourne railway station served the South Gloucestershire village of Winterbourne, England, from 1903 to 1963.[1]
Improved services on the / axis are called for as part of the Greater Bristol Metro scheme, a rail transport plan which aims to enhance transport capacity in the Bristol area.[2] The Metro scheme was given the go-ahead in July 2012 as part of the City Deal, whereby local councils would be given greater control over money by the government.[3]
