Warminster railway station is a railway station. It serves the town of Warminster, in Wiltshire, England.
The station is operated by Great Western Railway and is a main station on the Wessex Main Line with regular services to Bristol, Cardiff, Southampton and Portsmouth, as well as a limited service to and from Bristol and London Waterloo each weekday.
The station was opened by the Great Western Railway on 9 September 1851, as the terminus of its branch from Westbury on its Wilts, Somerset and Weymouth route. The branch was extended to Salisbury on 30 June 1856. The station was originally provided with a train shed covering the tracks and platforms, but this was removed around 1930 when the current canopies were erected in its place. The original wooden buildings were retained and are still in use today.
Great Western Railway (GWR) operate a generally hourly service in each direction from the station, westbound to Westbury, Bristol Temple Meads and Cardiff Central, and eastbound to Southampton and Portsmouth Harbour. A few additional GWR trains call at certain hours (some of which either originate or terminate here).
