Long Ashton railway station
Long Ashton railway station was a railway station on the Bristol to Exeter Line, southwest of , serving the village of Long Ashton in North Somerset, England. There were two stations on the site, the first, called "Ashton", opened in either 1841 or 1852 and closed in 1856. The second station, originally known as "Long Ashton Platform" before being renamed as "Long Ashton" in 1929, was operational from 1926 to 1941. The site is now partly under the A370 Long Ashton Bypass. There is local support for the station to be reopened, possibly sited further to the west, and possibly as part of the University of Bristol's proposed Fenswood Farm development.

The Bristol and Exeter Railway was opened between and on 14 June 1841, engineered by Isambard Kingdom Brunel and build originally as broad-gauge. A station named "Ashton", serving the nearby village of Long Ashton, was located on an embankment from and from the Great Western Railway terminus at London Paddington.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Engineers' Line References: MLN1 Paddington to North Road Junction )〕〔Railways in the United Kingdom are, for historical reasons, measured in miles and chains. There are 80 chains to the mile.〕 Quite when the station opened is uncertain – Butt's ''Directory of Railway Stations'' states that the station opened with the line in June 1841, but Quick's ''Railway Passenger Stations'' states it only opened in June 1852.〔 Both sources agree that the station closed in January 1856,〔 however other sources such as Oakley's ''Somerset Railway Stations'' contain no reference to Ashton at all. If the earlier date is correct, services would have originally been provided by the Great Western Railway on behalf of the Bristol & Exeter. The Bristol & Exeter took over passenger operations on 1 May 1849.〔
The line through Ashton remained open after the station closed. In 1871, the Bristol & Exeter opened another station called Ashton, closer to Bristol, this station was later renamed .〔 The line had been reconstructed as mixed-gauge by 1 June 1875 to accommodate local traffic. A year later in 1876, the Bristol & Exeter was amalgamated into the Great Western Railway, which took over services. Broad-gauge trains ceased operation on 20 May 1892.
