Bradford-on-Avon railway station is a railway station on the Wessex Main Line between Avoncliff and Trowbridge, serving the town of Bradford on Avon (the station name is hyphenated, unlike the name of the town). The station is 9.25 miles (15 km) south east of Bath Spa.

[edit] Services

Regular services are provided by First Great Western to Bath, Bristol Temple Meads and either Gloucester or Cardiff Central in the north and Weymouth, Southampton and Portsmouth in the south.

The station is served by twice-hourly in each direction throughout the day, as most trains on both main routes now call here. It is also currently served by three South West Trains services a day from Bristol Temple Meads to London Waterloo in each direction, plus one that originates and terminates at Salisbury.

There is an hourly service each way on Sundays, with some additional calls by Weymouth trains.
