Under the Beeching cuts, it was closed to passengers on 23 November 1964, with goods services ceasing on 5 July 1965. There is a proposal to reopen the station as part of the Greater Bristol Metro scheme, and if this goes ahead, it is scheduled to reopen in 2021. HistoryOpened by the Great Western Railway on 9 May 1910,{{sfn|Butt|1995|p=118}}{{sfn|Quick|2009|p=209}} Henbury station was situated on the Henbury Loop Line which was inaugurated on the same day.[1]{{sfn|Christiansen|1981|p=41}} 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.{{sfn|Christiansen|1981|p=41}} 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.{{sfn|Clinker|1978|loc=note 559 on p. 157}} 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".{{sfn|Quick|2009|p=209}} The station was publicly advertised again from 10 July 1922.{{sfn|Clinker|1978|loc=note 559 on p. 157}} Henbury station was listed for closure by the Beeching report{{sfn|Beeching|1963|p=117}} and it duly closed to passengers on 23 November 1964,{{sfn|Butt|1995|p=118}} with goods services being withdrawn as from 5 July 1965.{{sfn|Clinker|1978|p=19}} {{Historical Rail Start}}{{rail line|previous={{stnlnk|Hallen Halt}}Line open, station closed |next=Charlton Halt Line open, station closed |route=Great Western Railway Henbury Loop Line |col={{GWR colour}} }}{{s-end}} Present and futureThe 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] Improved services on the Severn Beach Line are called for as part of the Greater Bristol Metro 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 {{rws|Bristol Parkway}} via {{rws|Clifton Down}} 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] It is proposed for reopening in 2021.[9] In January 2018, it was revealed that the new station would be on a new site rather than the former site (referred to as Henbury West) due to high costs. The new station could open in May 2021.[10] ReferencesNotes1. ^1 {{cite book |title=Bristol Railway Stations 1840-2005 |last=Oakley |first=Mike |year=2006 |publisher=Redcliffe |isbn=978-1-904537-54-0 |pages=70-71}} 2. ^{{cite web | url = http://www.westofengland.org/media/91112/henbury.pdf | title = Henbury rail loop and the sale of the former goods yard | accessdate = 2012-07-12 | last = White | first = James | date = 12 December 2008 | format = PDF | publisher = West of England Partnership}} 3. ^{{cite news | title = Call for better deal on Bristol public transport as station sold to private company | date = 6 November 2008 | url = http://www.thisisbristol.co.uk/better-deal-Bristol-public-transport-station-sold-private-company/story-11278068-detail/story.html | work = This is Bristol | accessdate = 2012-07-12}} 4. ^{{cite web |url= http://www.westofengland.org/media/98508/item%2004%20greater%20bristol%20metro%2013%20march%202009.pdf |title=Item 04: Greater Bristol Metro |first=James |last=White |publisher= West of England Partnership |date=13 March 2009 |accessdate=28 December 2011}} 5. ^{{cite news |url= http://www.thisisbristol.co.uk/Campaign-trains-Bristol-Temple-Meads-half-hour/story-14446079-detail/story.html |title=Campaign for trains from Bristol Temple Meads every half hour |work=This is Bristol |publisher=Northcliffe Media |date=17 January 2012 |accessdate=19 January 2012}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.thisisbristol.co.uk/Transport-Minister-hears-calls-better-Bristol-train-service/story-11271683-detail/story.html|title=Transport Minister hears calls for better Bristol train service|publisher=Northcliffe Media|work=This is Bristol|date=17 October 2009|accessdate=14 April 2012}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://fosbr.org.uk/ourcase|title=Our Case|publisher=Friends of Suburban Bristol Railways|accessdate=15 April 2012}} 8. ^{{cite news|author=Ribbeck, Michael|publisher=Northcliffe Media|work=The Post, Bristol|date=6 July 2012|accessdate=6 July 2012|title=£100 million Bristol Metro train network by 2016|url=http://www.thisisbristol.co.uk/100-million-Bristol-Metro-train-network-2016/story-16492523-detail/story.html}} 9. ^{{cite web|title=MetroWest|url=http://travelwest.info/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/overview-of-metrowest.pdf|publisher=TravelWest|accessdate=5 November 2015|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304035459/http://travelwest.info/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/overview-of-metrowest.pdf|archivedate=4 March 2016|df=}} 10. ^ Sources{{refbegin}}
