Redland railway station is a small station on the Severn Beach Line in Redland, Bristol, England. It was opened 12 years after the line, in April 1897, following a petition by local residents. It lies between Montpelier railway station and Clifton Down railway station. It is a single-track station and so has only one platform. The station is managed and the service is operated by First Great Western.

The station has only a perch bench and shelter provided by the now obsolete Victorian station building, which is rented to a company not connected with the railways. The station is unstaffed and there are no ticket machines.

ervices

Monday to Saturday, there are three trains every two hours in each direction from Redland towards Avonmouth or Temple Meads, with one extended to Severn Beach. There is an hourly service during the day on Sunday between Avonmouth and Temple Meads.
