Trains to Nailsea & Backwell - Station Details and further Information on Nailsea & Backwell Train Services

Nailsea and Backwell train station is a station on the Bristol to Taunton Line. It is located in the village of Backwell and close to the town of Nailsea in North Somerset, England. The station is 8 miles west of Bristol Temple Meads train station. The station sits atop a bridge that spans the main road between Nailsea and Backwell. There is a car park on the Nailsea side of the station, and bus services from Nailsea to Backwell and Flax Bourton stop on the main road next to the car park.

Access to the two platforms is by steps from the road on either side; there is also a ramp leading up to the platform for trains towards Bristol. A small ticket kiosk on this platform was re-opened by the Severnside Rail Partnership in 2008, and 2 ticket machines are located under the platform. These are subject to frequent vandalism. There are waiting shelters on both platforms and even a footbridge between them, built by E. Finch and Company Ltd of Chepstow in 1907. There are "next train" monitors and an automated public address system to announce the trains.

The remains of the old station buildings can still be seen behind the shelters on Platform 2 (Bristol Bound) as well as from the taxi rank.

The station is managed and all trains are operated by First Great Western. The basic train service comprises two trains in each direction each hour. One train is the Bristol Parkway to Weston-super-Mare service that calls at all stations; the second is the faster Cardiff Central to Taunton service which runs non-stop between Bristol Temple Meads and Nailsea & Backwell. A similar stopping pattern is used by the peak period services to and from London Paddington. All trains call at Yatton, the next station westwards.

The typical journey time to Bristol Temple Meads is 11 minutes, while to London takes about two hours. The High Speed Trains used on the London services are longer than the station, and so passengers in the frontmost carriage have to go to a different carriage to disembark.

A morning eastbound CrossCountry service made a stop at the station to serve as a morning peak service, but this operation was dropped in the December 2008 timetable change. Instead, First Great Western now operates a loco-hauled set to replace this service.
