Trains to Frome - Station Details and further Information on Frome Train Services
Frome train station serves a largely rural area of the county of Somerset in England, and is situated in the town of Frome. The station is a quiet one as it is only normally served by Bristol to Weymouth trains, although there are now many other peak services to Bristol and Cardiff which originate and terminate at Frome. The station is now also served by a train to London Paddington and back in the morning and evening peak.
The station is located on a 1.5 miles long branch line which loops off the main line railway, which carries services on both the London to Penzance Line and Bristol to Weymouth route. Most of the trains which take the loop line in order to serve Frome station are on the Bristol to Weymouth route, and most trains on the London to Penzance line by-pass the station on the main line. The station is 22.25 miles south of Bath Spa on the Bristol to Weymouth line, and is operated by First Great Western.
Frome station was opened in 1850 and is one of the oldest railway stations still in operation in Britain. The unusual station structure consists of a 120 by 48 foot timber train shed. The station has two platforms, one of which is now unused due to the line being made into a single track, and benefits from a public address system. |
