Title: Charfield station Post by: Red Squirrel on September 14, 2021, 10:22:25 Some progress towards a new train station at Charfield, near Wotton-under-Edge. Jacobs, on behalf of Network Rail, have submitted the following application to South Gloucestershire Council:
Quote P21/023/SCR | Screening opinion for the creation of a railway station including platforms and footbridges; car parking; bus interchange; highway improvements, and associated works. | Land Off Station Road Charfield South Gloucestershire GL12 8SY According to the application: Quote Charfield Rail Station will provide much-needed access to the rail network for a catchment of up to 14,500 residents within a 5km radius, reducing pressure on the road network in an area which has high levels of car dependency due to limited of alternative transport modes and long journey distances to key employment clusters in the North Fringe and Bristol City Centre. The new station will lie at the heart of the village, presenting a unique opportunity to promote access to the station by walking and cycling, with both existing and proposed new developments in Charfield all located within a 10-minute walk of the Station.
