Sea Mills railway station serves the Sea Mills area of Bristol, England. The station is located near to the River Avon. This station is 10 km (6 miles) west from Bristol Temple Meads on the Severn Beach Line. All trains serving it are operated and the station managed by First Great Western.
The station was opened in 1865, as part of the Bristol Port Railway and Pier route from Hotwells to a deep water pier on the Severn Estuary at Avonmouth. In 1885 the line was diverted and extended to run via Clifton Downs tunnel to Bristol Temple Meads, and in 1922 it was extended to Severn Beach.[1]
The former station building is now used as office space by a property maintenance company.
