History
Opened by the Great Western Railway on 9 May 1910,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Henbury station was situated on the Henbury Loop Line which was inaugurated on the same day.[1]Шаблон:Sfn The new line formed part of the Great Western's main route to Avonmouth Docks via Stoke Gifford Junction on the Bristol and Gloucester Railway.Шаблон:Sfn Regular passenger services ceased to call at the station between 1915 and 1922, although it appears that unadvertised workmen's services were used by the public to reach the station.Шаблон:Sfn In fact, a note in the list of stations issued by the Railway Clearing House in 1921 stated that "Season Ticket and Ordinary Passengers are conveyed".Шаблон:Sfn The station was publicly advertised again from 10 July 1922.Шаблон:Sfn
Henbury station was listed for closure by the Beeching reportШаблон:Sfn and it duly closed to passengers on 23 November 1964,Шаблон:Sfn with goods services being withdrawn as from 5 July 1965.Шаблон:Sfn
The station's former goods yard was sold at auction in October 2008 by BRB (Residuary) Limited after South Gloucestershire Council had declined to make an offer.[2][3]

Future
Improved services on the Severn Beach Line are called for as part of the MetroWest scheme, a rail transport plan which aims to enhance transport capacity in the Bristol area.[4][5][6] It has been suggested that Henbury railway station be reopened as part of the scheme, with the possibility of services running from Bristol Temple Meads to Шаблон:Rws via Шаблон:Rws and Henbury.[7] 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.[8][9]
In January 2018, it was revealed that the reopened station would be on a new site rather than the former site (referred to as Henbury West) due to high costs. The opening date was pencilled in for May 2021,[10] but has been delayed. The new station will be located close to the A4018 with access by foot, cycle, bus and car. It will link in with the Fishpool Hill development proposed by Persimmon, and will be served by an hourly service between Henbury and Bristol Temple Meads. It will be an unstaffed terminus station with one platform and trains will travel eastbound towards Bristol Temple Meads via Filton Abbey Wood, with new stations at North Filton and Ashley Down.[11]
Planning permission for the new station, which is expected to open in 2026, was applied for on 21 August 2023.[12]
