Planning permission could be approved for a new train station in a Bristol suburb next week. Henbury station would be built next to the A4018 Wyck Beck Road on the border between Bristol and South Gloucestershire .

Henbury is one of several new stations in the area, with another planned nearby at the new YTL Arena, as part of the MetroWest rail scheme led by the West of England Combined Authority.
