1st August 2026 - direct train Avonciff to Weymouth

Avoncliff no longer has a direct Weymouth train on Saturdays (or on Monday to Friday) suitable for a day trip. On 1st August, at the request of the West Wiltshire Rail User Group, train 2O73 will make a special call there at 09:37 to help in the marketing and promotion of the station to residents who have missed this Saturday opportunity since services were recast for the Bristol Metro. Direct trains back from Weymouth to Avoncliff at 17:34 and 20:40 that day.

Adult day return fare - £24.30. Groupsave and rail card discounts take a third off. Children half price, babies and dogs travel free of charge when accompanied. Buy your tickets on the day - there is no ticket machine at Avoncliff so if you join the train there you can buy from the train manager.

Thanks from WWRUG to GWR for arranging this special call - really appreciated by the residents around Avoncliff
