Stapleton Road railway station is in the Easton area of Bristol.
The surrounding area is primarily residential, with the M32 motorway to the north of the station, and an industrial and commercial area north of that.
The station is named after the A432 Stapleton Road just north of the station.
The station can be accessed by Belmont Street to the west, an unnamed access road to the east, or by a set of steps from Stapleton Road.
Access to the southbound platform is via a slope of gradient greater than 1 in 12.
The station is on the Cross Country Route between Bristol Temple Meads and Bristol Parkway, and on the Severn Beach Line from Bristol Temple Meads to Severn Beach.
It is 1 mile 50 chains (2.6 km) from Bristol Temple Meads.
Directly to the north of the station is a bridge over the A432, then a bridge over the M32, then Narroways Hill Junction, where the Severn Beach Line diverges from the Cross Country Route.
The next station north along the Cross Country Route is Filton Abbey Wood, the next station north along the Severn Beach Line is Montpelier, and the next station south is Lawrence Hill.

The station is on an alignment of 150 degrees, curving towards the east.
There are two active platforms: the western platform, platform 1, serves northbound trains; the eastern platform, platform 2, serves southbound trains.
Platform 1 is 216 metres (236 yd) in length, and platform 2 211 metres (231 yd), but both have the southern 100 metres (110 yd) fenced off.
The southern end of the platforms bridge the residential street St Mark's Road.
Platform 2 is part of an "island" platform, the other face of which served the northbound "up fast" line through the station, which was removed in 1984 along with the southbound "down fast" and fourth platform which served it.
Access between the platforms is via an open, stepped footbridge.

As of 2018, facilities at the station are minimal – there is a metal and glass shelter and a row of seats on the northbound platform.
The station is completely unstaffed, and there are no facilities for buying tickets.
There are customer help points, giving next train information for both platforms.
There is no car park or taxi rank, and the nearest bus stop is 120 metres (130 yd) away on the A432 Stapleton Road.
There are eight bicycle stands on the platform.
A mural depicting local life and history is painted on the wall of platform 1.

The line through Stapleton Road has a speed limit of 60 miles per hour (97 km/h) northbound and 75 miles per hour (121 km/h) southbound.
The loading gauge is W8, and the line handles over 15 million train tonnes per year.
