Trains to Sea Mills - Station Details and further Information on Sea Mills Train Services
Sea Mills train station serves the Sea Mills area of Bristol, England. The station is located near to the River Avon. This station is 6 miles north-west from Bristol Temple Meads on the Severn Beach Line. All trains serving it are operated and the station managed by First Great Western.
There is currently an hourly service eastbound to Bristol Temple Meads and westbound to Avonmouth, with the latter extended to Severn Beach in the peaks and on Saturdays, a bus connection being necessary during the day on weekdays. There is currently no service on Sundays.
From Sunday 18 May 2008 an improved service will be offered on the line. Trains will start earlier in the morning and finish later in the evening, with three trains in every 2-hour cycle during the daytime. In addition to improving the frequency of services this will also increase turnaround time, so the timetable should be more reliable. This will have the unfortunate side-effect of trains not being at the same times past each hour.
Services to Severn Beach will be reduced overall, with only one train every two hours Mondays to Fridays, as opposed to the current service provided by a bus every hour connecting with every train. However, overall journey time is shortened by 8 minutes by removing the need to change at Avonmouth. The bus continues to run on Saturdays to provide one journey per hour to/from Severn Beach. For the first time in recent history, there will be a Sunday service, with hourly departures between 10am and 6pm from Bristol to Avonmouth, running until September only. St Andrew's Road and Severn Beach itself continue to have no Sunday service. |
