Bristol has two principal railway stations.
Bristol Temple Meads (near the city centre) has Great Western Railway services which include high-speed trains to London Paddington and local, regional and CrossCountry trains.
Bristol Parkway, north of the city centre, has high-speed Great Western Railway services to Swansea, Cardiff Central and London Paddington and CrossCountry services to Birmingham and the North East.
Limited service to London Waterloo via Clapham Junction from Bristol Temple Meads is operated by South Western Railway, and there are scheduled coach links to most major UK cities.

Bristol's principal surviving suburban railway is the Severn Beach Line to Avonmouth and Severn Beach.
Although Portishead Railway's passenger service was a casualty of the Beeching cuts, freight service to the Royal Portbury Dock was restored from 2000 to 2002 with a Strategic Rail Authority rail-freight grant.
The MetroWest scheme, formerly known as The Greater Bristol Metro, proposes to increase the city's rail capacity including the restoration of a further 3 miles (5 km) of track on the line to Portishead (a dormitory town with one connecting road), is due to open in 2023.
A further commuter rail line from Bristol Temple Meads to Henbury on an existing freight line is due to open in 2021.
