Trains to Dilton Marsh

Dilton Marsh railway station lies in the little village of the same name in Wiltshire along the Wessex Main Line heading to Bristol. It was opened as Dilton Marsh Halt in the late ‘30s at which point travellers were directed to a nearby home were a local woman sold tickets. In the late ‘60s, the station dropped “halt” from the name and was almost closed by British Rail. The station was the subject of one of British poet John Betjeman’s works. Today, the station is managed, along with the trains, by Great Western Railway. It’s a request stop, so travellers are required to signal to the train driver if they wish to board. There is one service an hour to Bristol Temple Meads in 55 minutes or Southampton Central in 1 hour 12 minutes.
