Service improvements at Freshford

The trains are very frequent, you can hop on the Weymouth, Portsmouth Harbour or Frome train, they all stop at Freshford and it can take as little as nine minutes depending on which train you take.

Some of them stop at Bradford on Avon, another lovely destination, and it can take around 27 minutes en route to Portsmouth Harbour.

There must be more mistakes in that brief article than there are accurate statements, which is impressively bad! "All trains to Portsmouth Harbour" being just one of many.

Still, if there is anyone here who hasn't been to Freshford, I would certainly recommend it, a lovely village in stunning countryside, and with that rare component, a frequent (hourly) train service.
