Train

Rail travel is excellent for both short and long distance journeys because trains are not affected by road congestion and therefore offer fast and reliable journey times.

Finding information on train services

Information on train times can be found on the National Rail Services website or by calling 08457 484950. You can also pick up timetables from stations or speak directly to a member of staff at manned stations.

If you are using rail as one part of a journey combined with bus or walking, our Journey Planner provides complete information for the whole journey.
