Warminster railway station is a railway station. It serves the town of Warminster, in Wiltshire, England.
The station is operated by Great Western Railway and is a main station on the Wessex Main Line with regular services to Bristol, Cardiff, Southampton and Portsmouth, as well as a limited service to and from Bristol and London Waterloo each weekday.
History
The station was opened, by the Great Western Railway, on 9 September 1851, as the terminus of its branch from Westbury on its Wilts, Somerset and Weymouth route. The branch was extended to Salisbury on 30 June 1856. The station was originally provided with a train shed covering the tracks and platforms, but this was removed around 1930 when the current canopies were erected in its place. The original wooden buildings were retained and are still in use today.[1]
Services
There is a basic hourly Great Western Railway service in each direction from the station, westbound to Westbury, Bristol Temple Meads and Cardiff Central, and eastbound to Southampton and Portsmouth Harbour. There are also a few additional stopping trains between Bristol and Southampton and a small number of services that start or terminate here.[2]
Three South West Trains services each weekday operate to/from London Waterloo via Basingstoke, along with a fourth to and from Salisbury.[citation needed]
