The Yate station first opened on 8 July 1844 and closed on 4 January 1965. It was reopened on 11 May 1989. It is the start of the Thornbury Branchline, however the passenger stations on this branch have long since closed, and the line only remains to serve Tytherington Quarry.
In the Strategic Rail Authority’s 2007/08 financial year, Yate was ranked as the 1104th most-used station in the UK.
