A train at Bath Spa station

Bath is an excellent city to visit by rail. The station is called BATH SPA. There are frequent high-speed connections to London Paddington. For a slower service that is likely to be cheaper, try London Waterloo. 

 

Major cities such as Birmingham and Manchester have frequent services via Bristol. The south coast ports of Southampton and Portsmouth have direct services by train. 

 

Rail tickets may be cheaper if booked in advance.  For the national train timetable web site click here.
