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.
