Trains to Weston-Super-Mare - Station Details and further Information on Weston-Super-Mare Train Services
Weston-super-Mare train station serves the town of Weston-super-Mare in North Somerset, England. It is situated on a loop off the main Bristol to Taunton Line.
The station is operated by First Great Western. It consists of two platforms linked by a covered footbridge which is also used as a public footpath between roads on either side of the station. Trains may use either platform in either direction, and many services are booked to pass each other at the station.
The core timetable consists of stopping trains from Bristol Parkway that terminate at Weston-super-Mare, and semi-fast services from Cardiff Central to Taunton. These two routes combine to give two trains each hour between Bristol Temple Meads and Weston-super-Mare for most of the day during the week.
Additional services superimposed on these local trains include through services to London Paddington, while CrossCountry operate a few services that link Weston-super-Mare with Birmingham New Street and the North. A few trains continue west of Taunton to destinations such as Exeter St Davids and Plymouth.
On summer Saturdays the number of long distance trains operated by both First Great Western and CrossCountry is significantly increased. Summer Sundays sees the steam-hauled Torbay Express to Kingswear call.
Buses operate from the train station to Axbridge, Cheddar, Wells, Burnham-on-Sea, and Bristol International Airport, as well as most parts of the town. |
