Help with Train staion in Bath
Looking to catch the train in Portsmouth. Great Western offers a cheap fare.

It's Portsmouth Harbor train station out and which train station in Bath gets me closer to town and is a Great Western train station. My hotel is a short walk from the baths.

I thought there's only 1 train station in Bath? It's Bath Spa.

There is one called Bath Matlock. I have no idea where that is. I e-mailed the hotel. They should steer me correctly...now that I know where I am staying.

thanks

It is Bath Spa you want.

Bath Matlock is in Derbyshire - more than 100 miles north!

Matlock Bath is about 160 miles North of Bath.

Both sassycat and myself have given you the correct answer.

There is actually another station in Bath. It is called Oldfield Park and is less than 2 miles to the west of the main station called Bath Spa. It is mainly used by local commuters.
