Pilning railway station is a small railway station at Pilning, South Gloucestershire, England. It is the last station on the English side before the Severn Tunnel through to Wales.
In the Strategic Rail Authority’s 2004/05 financial year, Pilning was ranked as the 33rd least-used station in the UK.
[edit] Service
Prior to the timetable change in Dec 06, Pilning was served by 1 train each way on weekdays. This was obviously considered excessive by First Great Western and as a result it is currently served by just one train a week in each direction on Saturdays only. (westbound Cardiff Central and eastbound Weymouth.)
