Future
Improved services on the Yate/Weston-super-Mare axis 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.[3] This could see Winterbourne reopened.[4][5] 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.[6]
