New Stations in 2025 and Beyond

Following on from 'The Next New 21 Stations' here are 15 more new stations - with maps to show you where they are - that are either being built right now, or should be coming along to a National Rail network near you from 2025 onwards.
An excellent resource for even MORE potential new stations is on the Trundleage website here: trundleage.co.uk/timeline-of-...

After all those updates on the Elizabeth line, it’s so nice to see updates on new developments.

[@RandomTFLupdates-PEPS_FOR_LIFE]

Yup!

[@MrGreatplum]

So pleased to see so many new stations planned. I hope some of them will be designed rather more individually than the recent identikit dull stations.

[@tonychan8558]

I must disagree. I think people just want more accessible public transport, who cares how dull a station is? The 'identikit' stations exist because they fit most requirements, no need to re-design, easier to build so faster to build, cost less meaning more stations can be built. Note: My local station is deemed to be one of the 'prettier' stations in the UK, but I'm just happy we have a train service in my small town.

[@CornishGardenTeam]

The days of anything other than glass/steel/concrete stations are over. They are the future, function is everything these days, all built in factories in modular form to a high standard and yet incredibly dull.

[@hypernewlapse]

Maybe a compromise would be generic components and architecture but community led decorations over the generic station, like historic maps and photos

[@MrGreatplum]

@@hypernewlapse - excellent idea!

[@OntarioTrafficMan]

Stations have always been cookie cutter. It's just that over the years they get individually renovated so we don't notice that there were lots of semi-identical stations when the lines opened

[@the-real-iandavid]

The Henbury, Bristol, Station will be preceded by Filton North, which is being built, in part, the serve the new YTL Bristol Arena. The Arena is due to open in 2024, but the station is now scheduled to open in 2025. Sticking with transport, YTL Bristol Arena is being constructed inside the iconic hangers used to build the massive Bristol Brabazon aircraft on the edge of the old Filton Airfield - also the British home of Concorde.

[@tomarse99]

The arena will never materialise. YTL will just keep on producing proposed images then once houses are built quietly disappear.

[@angusgregson9385]

@@tomarse99 The arena station, "Filton North", is probably the only reason they're also rebuilding Henbury station a bit beyond it. Just a pity they're not extending passanger services along the rest of the loop - which is still in regular use as a freight line - to Avonmouth to meet up with the Severn Beach line and allow passenger travel from north Bristol (including the 7500 houses being built on the old Filton airfield) to Avonmouth.

[@laurencec09]

Interesting to see that East-West Oxford to Cambs line re-opening. I'm assuming that was a Beeching cut in the 60's? Gives some faint glimmer of hope that my town (Haverhill) will one day get it's station back...

[@grassytramtracks]

Beeching actually didn't recommend for it to be shut, but because British Rail were still losing money, they closed it down anyway

[@bradw8102]

Cullompton and Wellington are two stations touted for reopening between Taunton and Exeter. There are also proposals to have GWR services run to Bishops Lydeard from Taunton, going over the southern bit of the West Somerset railway, to act as a park and ride and support the heritage railway services towards Minehead. It wouldn't be a new station in general, although if approved would be a new national rail-served station.

[@joesos]

GWR have done that in the past. There's a video on the All the Stations channel from a few years ago

[@aek7247]

So glad someone else mentioned these two stations as Wellington in particular I think could be quite well used. Not so sure about Cullompton with it being slightly closer to Tiverton Parkway? But maybe people there will use it to get to Exeter in particular. Who knows but nonetheless two stations that would be nice to have back that's for sure.

[@nathanw9770]

Also possibly Monkerton

[@stevekeiretsu]

excellent, let's hope all these things happen!

[@nickbannister775]

With the amount of housing being built at Cullompton and Wellington these have both become commuter towns for Exeter, Taunton and Bristol etc, plus the West Somerset Railway could easily run a commuter service into Taunton without too much disruption to the main line. A far cry from when back in the seventies the then local bus companies stopped this for fear of losing money even though journey times were three times as long from Bishops Lydyeard. Sadly the West Country is last on the list of Londons priorities.

[@speakerdestroyer425]

As well as Butetown station Cardiff will also be getting a new station at Crwys Road, hopefully in the same year (2024) along with a whole slew of upgrades to the lines in and around Cardiff as part of the South Wales Metro scheme. There's also construction works happening south of Cardiff Bay which is part of a scheme to extend the line onto the street down towards Pierhead Street, which is proposed to serve the new arena that will supposedly replace the Red Dragon Centre (though nothing has actually happened with that so far). TFW hopes that this line will become part of a Cardiff Crossrail, a line that will link a lot of the East of Cardiff to the railway for the first time before re-joining the mainline at Cardiff Parkway, another station expected to open in 2024 (which, if successful, will be the first station between Cardiff Central and Newport since 1959)

[@gisar.6539]

Yeah - the plan is that after Pierhead Street, they want to extend the line eastwards with stops at Splott, Tremorfa and Newport Road

[@ernestthesmallholder559]

Wales definitely needs its fair share of the 'England & Wales' railway budget. Most of Wales' railway system is diesel and very costly to operate and maintain. It still seems most of the 'England & Wales' railway budget to which we in Wales contribute to is spent on new railway lines and stations for London or to better London such as HS2. Scotland and NI do not have this problem as the governments there have more control of their rail budgets.

[@dylthomas715]

wales is slowly becoming more electrified. The city line rhymney valley and merthyr Valley lines are all being upgraded to electric overhead within the next 12 months they should be done

[@LeornianCyng]

I hope the new stations being built get architects who can design beautiful buildings. Buildings that represent the history and culture of each area.

[@barrieshepherd7694]

I suspect that they will be concrete, steel and glass boxes not a bit of stone or brick in sight 😒😒

[@alextee3727]

Proposed and being tested currently is the reopening of Marchwood and Hythe stations on the west side of Southampton (closed in the 60s)

[@johnh9749]

Draft proposal is public, consultation process is complete and the detailed proposal is currently being developed. Given that ABP has agreed to purchase Marchwood Port and the Solent Freeport programme I would expect the reopening of the line to Hythe to get the green light

[@angusgregson9385]

You mentioned the "new" Henbury station in Bristol, to be built where the previous station was until 1965. Funnily enough, it's on Station Road - bit of a clue there. Here's a possibility for a massive new series (just mention me gently in the credits): how many "Station Road"s are there, leading to a station that no longer exits? There's a Station Rd leading to what will be the new Ashley Down Station (Bristol) -same line as Henbury. I often drive in my FareShare van along Station Rd in Churchdown - but their station closed in 1964 and there's almost no remnant of it apart from the track of a branch/siding. "Station Rd" must be only second to "Church Rd" as the commonest street name inb the UK. But I bet there are a lot more churches than station left.

[@NicholasPayne01]

Apparently Sation Road is the second most common street/road namein the UK after High Street. I expect Church Street is a close third though

[@joachimbiddulph1001]

I’m Sure Cardiff Bay will end up with 3 platforms, two through roads literally onto the road onwards as tram working to Cardiff Parkway ( another new station in planning , St Melons Cardiff ) . Trefforest Estate is moving south and renamed Nantgarw. Treherbert extended to Tynewdd. Aberdare to Hirwaun with 3 stations on that branch. Aberdare getting a set down additional platform. Only place in UK with that working ? Crws road between Queen Street and Heath stations is in planning with Cardiff council. Swansea parkway further west on Swansea district line, freight by pass route has been agreed as part of an open access train company. TFW is planning but in secret without publicly at the moment quite a lot of expansions.

[@RandomGrinch]

All through the video, I was waiting for mention of these! ...and not a new station, but there are some much needed improvements well underway at Barry Docks.

[@davidhopkins8967]

Plus I think there’s a plan for something at Victoria Park / Ely Mill in west Cardiff, but no idea of timelines

[@TheOffertonhatter]

Elland finally getting it's station back is good news. I agree that it probably won't appear until 2026, as they are currently upgrading the A629 Elland bypass at the moment, so I will presume they won't start on the station until that is completed, otherwise traffic chaos!

[@n0rthernbuses]

West yorkshire metro have announced plans to increase 501/503 bus service between huddersfield and halifax to link with new elland station aswell.

[@thegwprojectyoutubemusicch3963]

Love your videos Geoff, thank you so much for making them for us to enjoy. Hopefully, Thanet Parkway is coming very soon 🤞🚉. I’ve sent you a few messages, if you want me to bring you some tea and biscuits when you visit it then please do let me know 😊.

[@kaitlyn__L]

Glad to see England and Wales getting some more action along the lines of undoing Beeching's decisions. Scotland had quite a number of stations and lines reopened 10-15 years ago to overall great success, I wonder if that helped serve as an example for this and the previous video. It's kind of amazing it's taken this long for the industry to remember that local-er stations increase overall ridership even if the per-station ridership might go down, because I've always thought Beeching's atomised per-station analysis (rather than per-line, or per-journey) really missed the forest for the trees.

[@ChilternTransportProductions]

Beeching may have been limited by the technology available at the time. It wasn’t so digital when he made that notorious report

[@kaitlyn__L]

@@ChilternTransportProductions computers have made wider data collection and analysis easier, but his methodology was flawed regardless. He only counted the passengers at specific stations boarding and disembarking, with no asking them where they were going. Anything more involved would’ve been a little more labour intensive, and necessarily only a random subset of all passengers, but considering he was paid twice the Prime Minister‘s salary I don’t think funding was an issue. They could’ve collected more data with the technology available to them. He also could’ve chosen to do the same basic study over a month or a quarter instead of a week, or at least a handful of those one-week studies spread around the year instead of just one. The main issue is he didn’t really have any industrial expertise, he was just hired because he was a physics PhD who was good with numbers. His actual analysis was very thorough. You could do that with a computer too, as the analysis doesn’t question what you value and what you ignore. He just didn’t really know which figures were important and which could be ignored. Any of his higher-ups who could’ve steered him in a more appropriate direction had interests in pushing DoT budgets towards roads, so they let him get on with it.

[@CornishGardenTeam]

Scotland isn't really leading the way, London has had loads of lines reopened or built over the last few decades, if not as heavy rail then as light rail or tramways, as have parts of England and Wales with lot of it down to what were coal-traffic lines losing their freight thus allowing passenger services to operate efficiently and freely. Hence Walsall - Rugeley TV, the expansion of the Valley Lines, Robin Hood line, Coventry-Nuneaton and Clitheroe, as well as urban lines like Birmingham Snow Hill and so forth. What is happening now is simply a continuation of that.

[@kaitlyn__L]

@@CornishGardenTeam well, that’s part of the key difference for me. It wasn’t just a station here or there, it wasn’t recombining a bunch of other rights of way into something new, it was genuinely reinstating local lines which had been lost. The DLR and Croydon tram never felt like rebirths to me, moreso just repurposing. It’s a worthy use of the infrastructure, and I love the DLR, but actually reopening entire lines as they were is a key qualitative difference for me.

[@Thornaby37]

@@ChilternTransportProductions more a case of Beeching doing what he was instructed to do by Transport Secretary Ernest Marples (who happened to be the owner of a motorway construction company)

[@lewishurley8461]

Proposed in the Coventry area: - Coventry South (between Coventry and Kenilworth, to serve the University of Warwick. - Binley (between Coventry and Rugby) - Coundon Road (between Coventry and Coventry Arena) on the site of the previous station that closed. - Foleshill Parkway (between Coventry and Coventry Arena) to serve the north of the city and dense suburbs. To be built on the site of, or just south of, the previously closed Foleshill station. All stations have backing from Andy Street, Mayor of the West Midlands, and are awaiting funding+planning once the Camp Hill and Walsall - Wolves stations are complete.

[@TheQueen2.6]

Are they all reasonably gonna happen? That's impressive if true.

[@lewishurley8461]

@@TheQueen2.6 Coundon Road and Binley are most likely to happen (Andy Street has specifically targeted these stations). However, I can't see Foleshill reopening in reality due to its close proximity to Coventry Arena. 'Coventry South' is 50/50 - would require a lot more planning and consultation.

[@RichardWells1]

Thanks for your update, Geoff. Has anyone mentioned Tavistock (Devon) on an extension to the Tamar Valley Line from the buffers at Bere Alston? Devon County Council has just submitted its strategic business case for this new station and rail link.

[@guillaumemaurice3503]

Thank you for sharing this video Geoff that was great information.

[@Bristoltwingo]

Some more West Country stations you may have missed: Ashton Gate - on the Portishead line when it opens, Charfield- construction should start soon on the line between Bristol and Gloucester, Lockleaze - Campaigners are advocating for a station to be built on Filton Bank north of Ashton Down, Stonehouse - to serve Stroud on the main line between Bristol and Gloucester (there is a station on the short-cut line to Swindon meaning people currently have to change in Gloucester to travel to Bristol).

[@user-bv5lc1nf5d]

Stonehouse West is apparently the proposed name for the station on the Bristol to Gloucester route, and Stonehouse Town FC is considering selling land so that there's an access point and parking spaces. The ground itself might be moved slightly to the north as well and Oldends Crossing could be removed as well due to traffic concerns.

[@Georgie-M]

The new Bristol line to Henbury will also feature another new station roughly on the site of the old North Filton Platform station. This'll serve the new suburb of Brabazon, which includes a 19,000-capacity stadium in one of the old aircraft hangers.

[@GreatWesternTransportation]

Great video. I'm certainly looking forward to seeing more of our railways and stations opening. However, you've forgotten Devizes Parkway or Gateway, whatever it's going to be called. It'll be located between Pewsey and Westbury on the Reading to Taunton line!

[@user-bv5lc1nf5d]

That would be great, as would a Parkway station for Marlborough on the same line. Impossible to reopen the old line into Marlborough itself due to development works in the town.

AG isn’t likely to happen with Portishead and Pill when that line opens. I wrote an assignment on it a few years ago and it looks as though it will be future proofed but not built - due to signalling constraints I think was the reason given by Network Rail. However, it was put on the Western Gateway Project map as ‘aspirational by 2050’ so it could well happen but unlikely in the next few years

There is the proposal for passenger stations on the Swansea district line (which bypasses Swansea station). Swansea parkway, and a couple of others. At the moment the line is used for freight and the occasional passenger service.

Not conventional railway as such, but opening any day between now and 21st June, (so we're told), will be the platforms of Picardy Place, McDonald Road, Balfour Street, Foot of the Walk, Shore, Port of Leith, Ocean Terminal and Newhaven; all on the Edinburgh Tramway.
