About your departure station
Bournemouths first station (1870) transformed the fishing village into a premier resort.
Expanded in 1885 with magnificent Victorian architecture, it became a major terminus.
The station was rebuilt in the 1930s with art deco features and again in the 1980s.
Electrification reached Bournemouth in 1967, reducing London travel times.
Today it handles 6 million passengers annually with CrossCountry, SWR and GWR services.
The 2012 upgrade improved platforms and concourse while preserving heritage elements.
As gateway to Dorsets beaches and New Forest, it remains vital for tourism and growing commuter traffic to London and Southampton.
