Diramazione per Chippenham

Esiste un collegamento da Trowbridge a Chippenham, con una fermata intermedia a Melksham.

Nonostante la forte crescita dei passeggeri negli anni precedenti, nel dicembre 2006 il nuovo franchising ha ridotto i servizi a due corse al giorno, in orari poco convenienti per i pendolari. La frequenza è stata aumentata a partire da dicembre 2013 e i servizi sono stati estesi a sud fino a Westbury e a nord fino a Swindon, fornendo un orario regolare con il marchio "TransWilts".[2]

Traffico

I servizi passeggeri sono attualmente gestiti dalla società Great Western Railway tra Portsmouth Harbour e Cardiff Centrale, integrati dai servizi della società South Western Railway tra Salisbury e Southampton Centrale (con il servizio della relazione Salisbury-Romsey via Southampton Centrale) e dai servizi intercity della Great Western Railway tra Bristol Temple Meads e Bath Spa (operanti tra Londra Paddington e Bristol Temple Meads).[3]

Quasi tutti i servizi della Great Western Railway proseguono oltre Southampton Centrale lungo la linea per Brighton fino al porto di Portsmouth, e oltre Bristol Temple Meads fino al bivio della galleria del Severn, Newport e Cardiff Centrale lungo la ferrovia Swindon-Swansea.
