Freshford railway station

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Freshford railway station serves the village of Freshford, Bath and North East Somerset. It also serves the nearby villages of Limpley Stoke and Sharpstone, both of which are situated in Wiltshire. This station has a small car park for 5 cars.

This station has 2 platforms and is served by First Great Western. A half-hourly peak and hourly off-peak service is currently provided northbound to Bath and Bristol and southbound to Bradford on Avon, Trowbridge, Westbury and then further to Weymouth and Southampton.

In Feburary 2006, Platform 2 at Freshford was raised by 30cm to reduce the large stepping gap between the train and the platform. It was lowered in 1988 as part of the realignment of the track through the station to allow trains to pass at a faster speed. At the same time the platform was raised, the station also received additional improvements including better lighting and the construction of a new waiting shelter.
