Bath Christmas Market will see almost 30 extra train services this weekend along with a queuing system at the station.
More than 140 trains will serve the market this Saturday (November 30), providing more than 60,000 seats to and from the city.
Great Western Railway has warned those travelling at the busiest times may have to queue to board trains home.
Between 7am and 10.03pm a train will serve the station every six minutes to support the market, with 29 extra services on top of the usual Saturday timetable.
Trains are expected to be very busy during peak arrival and departure times. A customer queuing system will be in place to help people board safely.
Bath Spa station manager Peter Jobson said: “With new Intercity Express Trains now in full service, and extra carriages added to many other services, we are able to provide more than 60,000 seats for this Saturday’s Bath Christmas Market.
“As we welcome people to the city we would like to remind them that the station will be very busy for some periods and customers may experience a more comfortable journey by travelling outside of the peak times.
“Our friendly and approachable staff will be on hand to help keep people moving. Those travelling should also allow time for their journeys as the station will be very busy.”
A number of services will also have extended dwell times at key locations and there will be slight alterations to normal timetabled services as a result. Passengers should check before they travel.
