The Severn Beach Line is a local railway line in Bristol and South Gloucestershire England. It runs from Bristol Temple Meads to Severn Beach and used to extend to Pilning. The first sections of the line were opened in 1863 as part of the Bristol Port Railway and Pier the section through Bristol was opened in 1875 as the Clifton Extension Railway. The line has faced several threats of closure over the years and has been reduced to single track in many places.
