Bath Spa Railway Station

Introduction

Bath Spa Station is a railway station in Bath, a city in the southwest of England. It mainly stops at the train of the first Western Railway Company. Built in 1840, Bath Spa Station is a British Grade II listed building. The name of the station when it was first built was Bath Station.

As a city centre with a UNESCO World Heritage status, Bath has an elegant train station and is relatively simple to use.

Platform

Bath Spa has only two stations (orbits); Station 1 is the departure point for trains heading west to Bristol, Cardiff, Gloucester and other areas. So if you take the train from London, you will arrive at this part of the station.

Station 2 is located on the city center side of the station and is used by trains that travel east. The Great Western Railway operates all the trains that stop at Bath Spa Station. When driving east, they take three different routes:

(1) Via Swindon and Reading to London Paddington Station (usually 2 trains per hour)

If you are going to London by train, please be aware of the signs that can tell you what to wait on the platform so that you can easily board the coach who will reserve your seat.

(2) Portsmouth via Bradford on Avon, Westbury, Salisbury and Southampton (usually 1 train per hour)

(3) Weymouth passes Bradford on Avon, Westbury, Yeovil and Dorchester (1 train per hour, but crosses Westbury every hour).

But please note that Bath has relatively few train services. When travelling between the city and the destination (north and Birmingham) by train, connections are required in Bristol, Didcot Road or Gloucester.

The station at Bath Spa Station is located above the street, but is connected to the entrance by stairs and lifts (elevators) so that there is no need for stairs between the train and the exit/entry.

When arriving at the platform 1 by train, it is important to note that the station's tourist information office is located on this platform, so it is best to stop and ask questions or take a map of the city center.

Dorking(Deepdene)

Dorking is a market town in Surrey, England between Ranmore Common in the North Downs range of hills and Leith Hill in the Greensand Ridge, centred 21 miles (34 km) from London.In the Georgian and Victorian periods six prominent sites in the former parish or on its boundaries became grand country estates: Leith Hill Place, Denbies (today a vineyard/hotel), Norbury Park, Polesden Lacey, Wotton House and Deepdene; five of which along with nearby Box Hill's promontory and chalk grassland slopes belong to the National Trust. Dorking is a commuter and retirement settlement with three railway stations and a few large offices of multinational companies. Similarly, Malden in 1911, noted the place was "almost entirely residential and agricultural, with some lime works on the chalk, though not so extensive as those in neighbouring parishes, a little brick-making, water-mills (corn) at Pixham Mill, and timber and saw-mills". Fine sand often in veins of pink, used for mortar and in glassmaking was dug, particularly in the 19th century — the Dorking Caves were accordingly excavated under southern parts of the town centre itself. Dorking chickens with short five-toed legs are a major local breed. The town has a local government headquarters and hosts repeating loops of the FIA-ranked London-Surrey cycle classic elite category event every year.
