Keynsham railway station is a railway station serving the town of Keynsham in Bath and North East Somerset, England. It is located on the London-Bristol and Bristol-Southampton trunk routes and was opened on 31 August 1840 with the completion of the Great Western Railway line between Bristol and Bath. It was renamed Keynsham and Somerdale on 1 February 1925 with the opening of the Fry's chocolate factory at Somerdale. The station was rebuilt in 1931 to accommodate longer trains bringing in workers who had transferred from a factory in Bristol belonging to the company.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.time-capsules.co.uk/picture/number916.asp )〕 The station's name reverted to Keynsham on 6 May 1974. By this time many workers had relocated to Keynsham, or commuted by car. The factory had its own rail system which was connected to the mainline. The connection to Fry's chocolate factory was taken out of use on 26–27 July 1980.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Keynsham )〕 The station was rebuilt in 1985 as a joint project between British Rail and Avon County Council. The rebuilding provided a new brick built shelter on platform 1, a new footbridge and the enlargement of the car park. Further construction work began in mid-2009. In 2011 a campaign group was formed to gain improved access for the disabled at the station.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201011/cmhansrd/cm111109/debtext/111109-0004.htm )〕 Recently a new disabled access ramp was built which provides wheelchair access between the footbridge and Platform 1. In addition to this, dot matrix display boards have been put up on both platforms. These displays are accompanied by audio announcements. ==Services== Passenger services are operated by Great Western Railway〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.firstgreatwestern.co.uk/Your-journey/At-the-station/Keynsham )〕 and South West Trains.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.southwesttrains.co.uk/station-search.aspx?stn=KYN )〕 Keynsham Station has at least an hourly service in each direction between Monday and Saturday, with roughly a 2 hourly service on Sunday.
