Highlights of a short visit to Bournemouth station on Wednesday 28 July featuring SWR class 444 and 450 units plus Cross Country Voyagers.
The operations at the station are quite complex with some trains terminating, some splitting. There are ECS workings to and from the stabling sidings and the T&RSMD located near Branksome.
The video concludes with some clips at Branksome including ECS movements to and from the depot.

Bournemouth station is 10 minutes walk from my place. Lovely station now it's done up.

I live in Southbourne and usually use Christchurch station but I really enjoyed this film. Congratulations 👍

This is one of the best "trainspotting" videos I've seen in a while because it's a little bit more than that. I see so many videos which are just loads and loads of clips of trains passing through a station with no narration or captions. This video actually explained what was going on in detail and gave a light history, but not to the extent I felt like i was reading a Wikipedia page. Particularly enjoyed this location. Two things I find operationally interesting is the splitting/joining of trains, and the use of carriage sidings. I think people often overlook empty stock movements.

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. You have identified what I am trying to do with all of my videos.

Being a local loved that film, lucky to have such a great railway heritage🤗

Excellent railway video as always Boogies Trains.

Great factual video as always. Must be at least 50 years since I was last on the station at Bournemouth. So it brings back some happy memories. Well done 💙 stay safe 🤓💙

Great video

Great video, very informative. I didn't know why only single 444s ever went west of Poole, I just assumed it was because of short platforms and that it wasn't very practical. Also for those who didn't hear, 444 008 (which can be seen at 8:37) derailed at Fratton the other day...

@maimadha 2 года назад

The derail at Fratton was very bad.

It was about 6 years after moving to Westbourne in Bournemouth that someone happened to mention Bournemouth West Station. I never knew it existed. There is a car park on Queens Road that covers the area that the station took up. Ironically when I moved here BT assigned the number of the grandest railway hotel in the area... the Midland Hotel to us. It had been converted into flats. We STILL get calls from hospitality suppliers and customers asking for the Midland Hotel!

Love the telephone story.

Been to Bournemouth. The station is amazing and so is the city and the seaside. And lots of history about Bournemouth railway station.

Bournemouth looks like Stoke-on-Trent

@BoogiesTrains 2 года назад

The stations have some similarity. As for the rest of the town!

I see you were down in my neck of the woods last month. I was at Branksome later that day to see a class 442 drag. There is a bit of retaining wall at the old Bournemouth West, if you know where to look... Excellent video and captions as usual.

Hi Peter. My wife and I do ballroom dancing. We were on a dancing break at the Marsham Court Hotel opposite the museum. Swam in the sea one day. Bournemouth is a fantastic place for a break. Before visiting Branksome we had been to Kingston Lacey. Drove back via Corfe Mullen and Broadstone looking for signs of the S&D. After Branksome we drove into town on the A35 looking for the site of the West station, but missed it.

@@BoogiesTrains Glad you enjoyed your visit. Quite a bit of the old S&D around, if you know what you're looking for. We only live a few miles from Kingston Lacy; always worth a visit. Our next-door neighbour has one of the allotments there too.

Those trains with the passage doors in front are ugly as hell and substantially unecessary! I like the video, and often used this station..........then taxi to Plessey...........in the good ol' days.

@BoogiesTrains 3 года назад

The inter unit gangways are essential to allow crew and passengers to circulate. Many of these trains, and similar services on other routes, combine and split enroute. The counter argument concerns restricted view by the driver and cramped driving cab. This has become a bigger issue in newer stock as the driver is further back to allow for more crash protection.

@29brendus 3 года назад

@@BoogiesTrains Yes thanks, and I accept some of those points. But we did without them forever, and they are still damn ugly, and substantially unnecessay..and costly, and restrictive, and cramped, and reduce visibility, and un-aerodynamic,......and are most like hated by staff as well. Cheers.

I think the Southern introduced them first in the 4COR units. They became common on longer distance units when the 4CEP stock was introduced for the Kent Coast electrification in the 1950s. After that all the new mark 1 based units for outer suburban and long distance on the Southern Region had them. Some of the Inter City DMUs also had them. Loco hauled trains didn't need them although some A4s had corridor tenders.

@@BoogiesTrains Ah, good ol' Nigel Gresely and his 'chair width' tender corridors. Cheers! It must have been fun, getting from the tender to the first carriage?
