Introduction

Bath Spa Station is a railway station in Bath, a city in the southwest of England. It mainly stops at the train of the first Western Railway Company. Built in 1840, Bath Spa Station is a British Grade II listed building. The name of the station when it was first built was Bath Station.

As a city centre with a UNESCO World Heritage status, Bath has an elegant train station and is relatively simple to use.

Platform

Bath Spa has only two stations (orbits); Station 1 is the departure point for trains heading west to Bristol, Cardiff, Gloucester and other areas. So if you take the train from London, you will arrive at this part of the station.

Station 2 is located on the city center side of the station and is used by trains that travel east. The Great Western Railway operates all the trains that stop at Bath Spa Station. When driving east, they take three different routes:

(1) Via Swindon and Reading to London Paddington Station (usually 2 trains per hour)

If you are going to London by train, please be aware of the signs that can tell you what to wait on the platform so that you can easily board the coach who will reserve your seat.

(2) Portsmouth via Bradford on Avon, Westbury, Salisbury and Southampton (usually 1 train per hour)

(3) Weymouth passes Bradford on Avon, Westbury, Yeovil and Dorchester (1 train per hour, but crosses Westbury every hour).

But please note that Bath has relatively few train services. When travelling between the city and the destination (north and Birmingham) by train, connections are required in Bristol, Didcot Road or Gloucester.

The station at Bath Spa Station is located above the street, but is connected to the entrance by stairs and lifts (elevators) so that there is no need for stairs between the train and the exit/entry.

When arriving at the platform 1 by train, it is important to note that the station's tourist information office is located on this platform, so it is best to stop and ask questions or take a map of the city center.
