Trains to Trowbridge - Station Details and further Information on Trowbridge Train Services
Trowbridge train station is a train station on the Wessex Main Line between Bradford on Avon and Westbury. The station is 24 miles south east of Bristol Temple Meads and is managed by First Great Western. Originally opened by the Wilts, Somerset and Weymouth Railway in 1848 as part of their Thingley Junction to Westbury line, it gained a link to Bath & Bristol nine years later thanks to the Great Western Railway. This is now the main line, as the original route to Chippenham has been singled and reduced to secondary status.
Regular service (at present half-hourly each way Mon-Sat, hourly on Sundays) is provided by First Great Western to Bath, Bristol Temple Meads and either Gloucester or Cardiff Central northbound and Weymouth or Southampton and Portsmouth in the south.
The original WS&WR line diverges to the north of Trowbridge, carrying a limited passenger service (two per day each way Mon-Sat, one each way on Sundays) to/from Swindon and providing trains to Melksham. Trowbridge is also currently served by three South West Trains services each weekday from Bristol Temple Meads to London Waterloo in each direction, plus one that originates and terminates at Salisbury. |
