As part of work to electrify the line passing through the station, the footbridge was replaced. A new accessible footbridge with lifts at either side was opened in May 2021. Future The South Wales Main Line from London to Cardiff is due to be electrified by 2017, as is the line to Bristol Temple Meads. However, the lines to Weston-super-Mare and Southampton will not be electrified in the near future, so services at Patchway will still be provided by diesel trains, with "Sprinter" units to be replaced by and "Turbo" units. The group Friends of Suburban Bristol Railways supports the electrification continuing to Weston, as does MP for Weston-super-Mare John Penrose.
