Radstock West railway station was a station on the Bristol and North Somerset Railway in the county of Bath and North East Somerset in England.

History

Opened as Radstock on 3 September 1873,[1] it was located immediately to the southwest of the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway's Radstock North (1874-1966). However, there was no direct connection between the two competing stations. The station was renamed Radstock West on 26 September 1949, and closed on 2 November 1959.[1]
