Services
As befits its status as a busy junction, the station is served by all three main routes that pass through it. On the main West of England, the station is served with westbound trains to one of Exeter St Davids, Plymouth or Penzance. There are also a pair of weekday commuter services to London Paddington.
On the Cardiff Central to Southampton Central and Portsmouth Harbour line, there is a basic service in each direction on weekdays and Saturdays and less on Sundays. There is also a separate stopping service between Gloucester, Bristol and Westbury (Monday to Saturday) on this route. Some of these trains continue through to Weymouth, whilst there are several from Weymouth to Bristol & Gloucester. On Sundays there are fewer trains each way between Bristol & Weymouth and less in winter.
South West Trains run a limited service between Bristol and London Waterloo here. There are services to Frome, Warminster and Southampton plus a single daily through train to Brighton (and two from there).
A limited service runs to/from Swindon via Chippenham, Trowbridge and Melksham - currently there are two trains per day Monday to Saturday and one each way on Sundays.

Famous quotes containing the word services:
“The community and family networks which helped sustain earlier generations have become scarcer for growing numbers of young parents. Those who lack links to these traditional sources of support are hard-pressed to find other resources, given the emphasis in our society on providing treatment services, rather than preventive services and support for health maintenance and well-being.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
“O, the difference of man and man!
To thee a woman’s services are due.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“A good marriage ... is a sweet association in life: full of constancy, trust, and an infinite number of useful and solid services and mutual obligations.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
