Trains to Westbury (Wilts) - Station Details and further Information on Westbury (Wilts) Train Services
Westbury train station serves the town of Westbury, Wiltshire, England. The station is managed by First Great Western. The station is a major junction, serving the Reading to Plymouth Line with services to and from Penzance and London Paddington, the Wessex Main Line with services to and from Cardiff and Portsmouth, local services to Swindon, the Heart of Wessex Line providing local services from Bristol to Weymouth, and services to London Waterloo as well as large stone trains from the Mendip quarries. The buffet at Westbury appeared in a list of "highly commended" station cafes published in The Guardian in 2009.
As befits its status as a busy junction, the station is well served by all three main routes that pass through it. On the main West of England line, there are nine trains each way that call here Mon-Fri (roughly every two hours) and seven on Saturdays, with westbound trains continuing to one of Exeter St Davids, Plymouth or Penzance. There are also a pair of weekday commuter services from the station to London Paddington - one that starts/terminates here and another that runs to/from nearby Frome. Six trains each way call on Sundays.
On the Cardiff to Southampton and Portsmouth line, the basic service is hourly in each direction on weekdays & Saturdays and two-hourly on Sundays.
There is also a separate hourly stopping service between Gloucester, Bristol and Westbury (Mon-Sat) on this route. Seven of these trains continue through to Weymouth (plus another that starts here), whilst there are eight from Weymouth to Bristol & Gloucester. On Sundays there are five trains each way between Bristol & Weymouth in the summer months, dropping to three each way in winter.
South West Trains run a limited service between Bristol and London Waterloo that serves the station (three per day to/from Waterloo plus a fourth that starts/terminates at Salisbury) and there are a number of other local workings to Frome, Warminster and Southampton plus a single daily through train to Brighton (and two from there).
Finally there is a limited service to/from Swindon via Trowbridge and Melksham - currently there are two trains per day Mon - Sat and one each way on Sundays. |
