It was located on the main line from Bristol to South Wales. It was served by stopping trains to Severn Beach (via Pilning), Avonmouth (via Chittening) and Swindon (via Badminton). HistoryThe station was opened in 1927 by the Great Western Railway. The station passed to the Western Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. It was closed by the British Railways Board in 1964. {{Historical Rail Start}}{{rail line|previous=Ashley HillLine open, station closed |next=Filton Junction Line and station open |route=Great Western Railway |col={{GWR colour}} }}{{end box}} LocationHorfield railway station was located immediately to the south of the road that is now named Bonnington Walk.[1] Current siteTrains running between Bristol Temple Meads, Filton Abbeywood and Bristol Parkway pass the site. Local campaigners have called for the station to be reopened.[2] In 2001 the station was selected as a stop for the proposed Bristol Supertram project, for which it would have been renamed "Bonnington Walk". This service would have operated between Broadmead Shopping Centre and Almondsbury, but the project was cancelled in 2004. On 6 September 2013 Bristol Mayor George Ferguson said "Network Rail has advised that, in delivering four track, it would consider one additional station between Temple Meads and Abbey Wood, subject to a convincing business case. Both my assistant Mark Bradshaw (Labour) and I support Ashley Hill over Horfield".{{cn|date=September 2013}} This has been challenged by local rail campaigners, who believe both sites can be delivered.
