Train Stops

[237SJ]

For buses, I use this site http://www.londonbusroutes.net/routes.htm Is there an equivalent site for trains lines? I am trying to get somewhere in December and I have to keep trying different stations to see if they are on the line where I want to go which seems a bit of a faff.

Thank God that's sorted. Could have been sorted 90 minutes ago.

Aha! You must have moved since you said that you were on the Middlesex/North Surrey border ;-)

Fast, direct services from London to Bath Spa are operated by Great Western from Paddington. Typical journey times are around 1½ hours. Full timetable here:

Slower, but still direct, services from London to Bath Spa are operated by South Western from Waterloo. They can be cheaper than Great Western trains but typically take around 2½ hours. (They're also less frequent). Full timetable here:

(Scroll down to Table 20A)

If you're in London you can't really catch a Great Western service from anywhere other than Paddington (possibly unless you happen to be somewhere with a direct route to Reading, which is the first stop on the Bath Spa services). However you can catch a South Western service from Clapham Junction as well as Waterloo.

^ Thank God indeed. Now go back your your booze :)

Surely, in London, the best option would be the nearest station?

London Paddington to Bath is a direct non stop service

^^^ I hope that it's NOT 'non stop' Eddie, otherwise all of the passengers on it with tickets for Reading, Didcot, Swindon and Chippenham are going to get ruddy cross ;-)

LOL.
