It is 12 miles (19 km) west of Bristol Temple Meads railway station on the Bristol to Taunton Line. The station was opened by the Bristol and Exeter Railway on 14 June 1841 as 'Clevedon Road'. The station was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel with the main station building on the platform for eastbound trains towards Bristol, and a smaller building on the westbound platform. A hotel was provided adjacent to the eastbound platform for people travelling to Clevedon. The Clevedon branch line opened 28 July 1847 when the name of the station was changed to 'Yatton'. A small bay platform was provided at the west end of the eastbound platform for the branch trains and an unusual train shed with louvre ventilation was provided for shelter. This was replaced in 1956 by a second-hand canopy brought from Dauntsey railway station. This still stands, but a matching oneon the westbound platform has since been removed.
