This was a trip down memory lane for me. In my young teenage years, I would often spend a day spotting and on the trains between Poole and Bournemouth. Had many trips behind Class 47's or the 33/1's on the push-pull sets, this of course before it was even electrified between Bournemouth and Weymouth. Also the trips up to London with the '4REP's, what a beast of a unit they were. Happy days!
If it makes you feel any better my hometown used to be weymouth a long time ago then I moved 10 miles from there. Then i went to weymouth college in 2017 so I caught the train here and back 3 times a week.
The first time I travelled to (and from) Weymouth it was by steam train from Woking in the mid 1950s. At that time Dorchester South station buildings and the platform were to the right, where the modern block of I'm not sure what is now, more or less in line with the track from Moreton. The train steamed forwards into what was then a "Terminus" platform. On departure the train reversed back onto the line towards Moreton before heading forwards again round the curve (where Dorchester South station is now) towards Dorchester junction and Upwey. On the return journey the train, having passed where Dorchester South station is now, reversed into the "Terminus" platform. On departure it headed straight out of the station to Moreton. I am not sure when, if ever, it was used, but at that time there appeared to be the remains of a station platform between the two Bincombe tunnels.
I've just watched this. Very good, with superb picture quality - apart from the smears on the windscreen - and excellent captions. Many thanks. Please upload more of these in cab videos.
My first visit to Weymouth was in 2013 and I returned there in 2017, both on a special railtour. During the 2018 Great Britain railtour, there was a brief stop there on the way to Swanage via Wareham. London Waterloo, despite being located south of the River Thames is centrally located near Waterloo Bridge and opposite the area of Westminster and the London Eye.
Excellent - especially the bit from New Milton to Poole. I use that route a lot. Makes a change from just looking out of the window at trees! ... and that's the first time I've seen a train stop at Holton Heath :D
What a lovely ride! A beautiful day and amazing quality photography - which is born out when you press 'K', stop the train, and look around. I have a 48" (diag) Monitor so am enjoying it . Thank you all very much for uploading it. Also thanks for detailing the stops. I think the 3rd stop must be Ashurst - even though it was Totton (or was it?) Ha-ha-ha!

How nice to hear from you! You're welcome! Kind Regards!
As a schoolboy in the mid 1960s I made the Weymouth to Poole and reverse trip every, day! It was great to see the front view on this video, the trees have really grown! Ha Ha
Thanks so much for sharing, a really nice video. As an aside I must say I find the 85 mph speed limit as far as the Alexandra Bridge on Radipole Park Drive for multiple units approaching Weymouth extraordinary! Has that ever been done? The driver is slowing a long way before that and personally I believe that is too high and not by a small margin either. Still a great film.
ruddy marvellous,,,,, just moved away from the new forest so its so great to see all the places ive walked along for 26 years near the line, im addicted now to watching these train journeys .
When I was a boy I did the Southampton to Christchurch run often just for fun ! Later I met (now deceased) my ladyfriend who had a bungalow in Ashurst in Ashdene Road where there were numerous complaints about trains metres away from her and her neighbours' gardens also causing hairline cracks in the buildings, this was way back in 1993 but I loved watching the uninvited trains !
Bournemouth Traincare depot is behind the trailing junction at Branksome out of view of the main line, they are the carriage sidings between the up and down lines where the caption is shown
Well that brings back memories of travelling from Bournemouth to Southampton in 1974 during 3 years whilst studying for my Merchant Navy radio officer's ticket at S'ton.
1979 I was studying for Class 3 Second Mate at Warsash and because our Berth was always immaculate we were allowed weekend leave even on induction so I enjoyed my Granny's cooking at Burton near Christchurch.
27:35 Wikipedia entry on Pokesdown The station was opened on 1 July 1886 by the London and South Western Railway. It was originally named Boscombe, which was altered on 1 October 1891 to Pokesdown (Boscombe),[1] since the station was closer to Pokesdown than Boscombe. On 1 May 1897,[2] when Boscombe station was opened, the station was renamed again to just "Pokesdown". In 1930, the station was again renamed, becoming Pokesdown for Eastern Bournemouth, although it reverted to Pokesdown under British Railways.[2] In the 1930s the Southern Railway made the platform facilities considerably larger, allowing the station to accommodate longer trains. Although some facilities have since been removed, at the time they provided an asset for the non-stopping services because there were tracks to use as fast lines in the up and down direction. During the 1970s two of the four tracks were removed, and the signal box was closed. On 16 May 2009 the station signage was changed to Pokesdown for Boscombe with announcements at other stations and on trains changed later on but the station remains officially named Pokesdown.[3] The station is a short bus journey or walk from Boscombe's main shopping area. Some South Western Railway services operated by two four- or five-carriage electric multiple units coupled together cannot be accommodated fully by the platforms and only selected doors open on such trains.
43:06 ... This was the former site of a junction with that line heading off to the right. It ran through Broadstone, Merley, Wimborne and on to Ringwood. That line closed in the early 1970s and was ripped up a decade or more later. The first part of that route is now coverd by factories and workshops. The next part of that route, up to Broadstone, is now a busy main road. Futher on, the route is now a long walkway and cycleway.
Koleją z Mateuszem See en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southampton_and_Dorchester_Railway (and small section (3 miles) from Broadstone via Creekmoor Halt to Poole on the diagram) and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadstone_railway_station_(Dorset) See also en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somerset_and_Dorset_Joint_Railway and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salisbury_and_Dorset_Junction_Railway
Same! Especially as I also had (still have) other family in Fareham and Eastbourne, meaning this was a frequent journey home from visits to said family (and obviously the other direction to get there).
I remember the up platform being along where that blue building is now. Up services has to go past and reverse in. Used to be Class 33's with 4 trailer coaches. Also the line off to the right just before Weymouth used to be for the boat train and allowed the train to go along the street right up to the dock.
The M.P's - or mileposts - are unusual for they're blue squares set on the diagonal on a post on the DOWN side of the track. Not your usual concrete block with numbers and 1/4 miles.
I'm not too sure about these things (I'm quite the amateur - having spent all of the past 8 months viewing cab rides through the UK on a COVID inspired binge) , so let me know if I'm wrong. At 1:24:18, I observe a T board to what I believe is the temporary speed restriction of 30 over 60, yet, after this point, I continue to see the TSR caption. Hence, my question is: what was the T board for?

It's not a damaged camera lens. Most of my train cab rides I filmed with that camera...That was scratch on the window. Waterloo to Southampton was first part. This is second part of the whole journey. Regards
Great 2 leg journey ,I'm surprised the driver didn't clean the window after the 1st leg , it must have sent him insane . A good vid ' mucked up because of this .

We tried to clean the window. However that was serious damage and we couldn't fix it. A Train driver was sitting from other site, so probably his window was fine! Kind Regards
Better than having Steamy Windows that Tina Turner sang about. Which by the way is a good song. I personally enjoyed the footage. When are you doing another?

Hi folks. This is a Network Rail route learning video, not a private production. I agree with others, you would have thought that they would clean the window!
South West Trains no longer exist now, South Western now. However very few passengers in trains nowadays, only key workers at the moment but soon more people will be using the train as lockdown starts to ease.
Dzieki za film.Zawsze jak partze na kolej tam oto sie nieumie nadziwic ile rzeczy maszynista musi pamietac tam - gdzie jaka stacja ma taka atak predkosc zwotki przy jedzie na bok czy kiedy sie zaczyna ograniczenie bo niekazde musi byc oznakowane do tego niemaja jak u nas podanych km trasyi ta uproszczona sygnalizacja :D

Nawet naszego popularnego sygnału "baczność" używają tylko gdy jest wskaźnik W, w innych przypadkach to jeżeli są np. pracownicy na torach czy coś. Pozdrawiam
58:54 Was that something thrown at the train or was it a bird hitting the cab? Shame to see they've introduced a bottleneck at the far end of Bournemouth station. I used to regularly visit there in 1990.
I grew up living beside the rail lines just outside New Milton and can remember sitting on the bank at the end of our garden and watching the Great Western Express going up to London. It was steam engines in those days. I remember one of the loco's was called, Greyhound. The line was electrified some time in the late 60's much to my chagrin, as I would take a shortcut to my friends house by running across the tracks, saving me having to walk down and across the bridge and back up the other side. I was too scared to do it after it was electrified !! It was interesting to see that the banks are now overgrown with trees and bushes, in those days they were clear, I assume this is to save costs or to help form a noise barrier, anyone know ?
Thank you. A vivid reminiscence of how things were. In steam days the banks around railways were kept clear in order to prevent fire caused by hot ash and cinders. It became unnecessary with diesel and electric; but that has caused its own problems - trees falling during storms, far more leaves on the lines (which causes adhesion problems) and, in many places, the train journey being like riding through a green tunnel for miles on end. Over recent years and in many areas Network Rail has been undertaking clearance of trees, to mitigate all those things. As you imply, that costs money; so yes, failure to cut saves money. The express you saw going through New Milton (which I know quite well) to London would have been either Southern Railway or (from 1948) British Railways Southern Region. The Great Western route to London is much further north, and goes through Taunton, Westbury and Reading. I find your reference to "Greyhound" especially interesting. I am not aware of any SR locomotive that was formally named "Greyhound". But there was an entire class of express engines that had that nickname, which they acquired because their crews admired their ability for fast running; and the nickname stuck throughout their long lives. The London and Southwestern Railway (later merged into the Southern Railway), whose line goes through New Milton, built 66 of them around 1900, and most of them lasted well into the 1950s. Some of them were used on the Bournemouth-New Milton-Southampton line. If you look up the following on Wikipedia, you'll find a good article on them: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LSWR_T9_class Thanks again.
Thanks for replying anyway. Wish you well and hope you can upload more of this quality.

@@dreadnaught3894 I'm very sorry, but this is impossible. I asked SWR for filming but they declined my offer. So probably, it won't be any new footages. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help.
I was always told that the halt at Hinton admiral was put there as the train crossed the local lords land and he had the right to stop the train if he needed to go to London. How true that was I don’t know. Great video all my home area.
Although I have travelled many times to & from Hinton Admiral station I am not aware of this reason for the station being there. But, because of where it is I would not be surprised. There was a private station at "Avon Castle" about 1.75 miles from Ringwood on the line (closed end Sept. 1935) between Christchurch (Dorset now) and Ringwood (Hampshire) where this was the case. (Reference "The Branch Lines of Hampshire" by Colin G Maggs published by Amberley Publishing.)
I don't know about Hinton, but that is true of Beaulieu Road. The station was not originally intended to serve the village of Beaulieu (hardly convenient because it's over 3 miles away across heathland and woodland), but was a 'personal' station built for Lord Montagu as a concession for allowing the railway to be built over part of his Beaulieu Estate. A special signal would indicate to the train drivers that they should stop for the Lord and his guests. Nowadays anyone can use the station.
I think you'll find this is a true account. The Meyrick family, who owned the land that the 1888 line to Bournemouth traversed, allowed the building of the railway on the proviso that they could stop a train to travel. This was possible while there was a signalbox at the station but with the electrification of 1967 and the subsequent removal of the box, this was no longer available!
Is announcer aboard or is it recorded or from base ? smear on window vanishes if you dont pay attention to it...hardly noticed it after while. our networks are fantastic,its the management thats at fault usually,prices ruin it otherwise great....quality over profit please. you can make a profit,but dont be greedy,...
The insect splats right in the middle of the frame and right on the running rail are a distraction. Surely the camera could have been relocated? Otherwise a great vid.

Camera could have been relocated, but I didn't want to change a position. Thanks
markymash That’s where that road goes from Poole. The A347 is marked one bridge too early though, it’s the longer tunnel like one after regaining the right line at Bournemouth.
I wish everyone would shut up about the window. It really ruins the comments section. These trains sound great. I like trying to judge what the next station is by using things I know about the area, even though I've never done this journey before - such as Morebus' bus garage in Poole, with Poole Station seen shortly afterwards. That, along with getting to see how the speed signs work, is my favourite aspect about these videos.
Sory że po polsku, ale angoelskiego nie umię. Co oznaczają te żółte znaki? Bo normalne ograniczenie prędkości jest podobne do znaków drogowych, ale na tych żółtycg znakach są jakieś kropki, albo litery. I jeszcze jedno pytanie: czy angielskie semafory mogą wskazywać ograniczoną prędkość?

Zółte znaki oznaczają tymczasowe ograniczenia prędkości.
Okay, will someone please explain why the entirety of the route from London to Weymouth is at least dual-track, apart from Moreton - Dorchester South (and a little bit near Weymouth station)? Who decided to remove the second track there but nowhere else? Because I refuse to believe it was constructed in such a nonsensical bottleneck-creating way.
Moreton to Dorchester south is single but returns to dual line after dorchester. I think its because of the Woodlands I'm not sure plus farms round that area.

Totton was a shithole I thought way back in the 80's !
1:08:29 I've lived near on the South Western mainline in Dorset pretty much my entire and only now released there's a bit that's single track
This video has inspired me to travel to the UK to take cab view videos! I first watched this in May 2018
Had it always been single track from Moreton to Dorchester? I thought as a kid it was double all the way to Weymouth. Memory plays tricks.
Singled in the 80‘s. The last time l rode this line was in 1979.

Forgot to say I was a young Merchant seaman in the 50s & early 60s I dont recall third rail down that far in those days.
Jim Crawford that’s because there wasn’t. Arrived in 1967.

Strange that they singled the track between Moreton and Dorchester S.

The red aspect at Holton Heath, was that because of the Wareham to Swanage trial runs running around that time?
What is that sound that sounds like a rush of air just before you stop every time? An example is at 1:23:58

Hmmm..now I'm all curious about *when* much double-tracking between Poole and Weymouth must've gradually/finally been reinstated.
I'm not sure this is going to be happen...
As far as I know only the section from Wool to Dorchester has been single track. It was like that for several decades.

The line was electrified some time in the late 60's much to my chagrin, as I would take a shortcut to my friends house by running across the tracks, saving me having to walk down and across the bridge and back up the other side. I was too scared to do it after it was electrified !! It was interesting to see that the banks are now overgrown with trees and bushes, in those days they were clear, I assume this is to save costs or to help form a noise barrier, anyone know ?
Thank you. A vivid reminiscence of how things were.
In steam days the banks around railways were kept clear in order to prevent fire caused by hot ash and cinders. It became unnecessary with diesel and electric; but that has caused its own problems - trees falling during storms, far more leaves on the lines (which causes adhesion problems) and, in many places, the train journey being like riding through a green tunnel for miles on end. Over recent years and in many areas Network Rail has been undertaking clearance of trees, to mitigate all those things. As you imply, that costs money; so yes, failure to cut saves money.
The express you saw going through New Milton (which I know quite well) to London would have been either Southern Railway or (from 1948) British Railways Southern Region. The Great Western route to London is much further north, and goes through Taunton, Westbury and Reading.
I find your reference to "Greyhound" especially interesting. I am not aware of any SR locomotive that was formally named "Greyhound". But there was an entire class of express engines that had that nickname, which they acquired because their crews admired their ability for fast running; and the nickname stuck throughout their long lives. The London and Southwestern Railway (later merged into the Southern Railway), whose line goes through New Milton, built 66 of them around 1900, and most of them lasted well into the 1950s. Some of them were used on the Bournemouth-New Milton-Southampton line. If you look up the following on Wikipedia, you'll find a good article on them: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LSWR_T9_class
Thanks again.
After it was electrified, was there a fence at the end of your garden, for safety and illegal trespassing of the railway?
I thought that that was a quick getaway but I see that it is third rail electric. We dont have that in Australia. Good video though!
It is cheaper to build than overhead but uses more power.
Couldn't a clear patch of windscreen be found? Those marks completely spoil the whole film!
Can you explain the triangular speed limit sign that appears above the red circular sign in the lower right of the. Video. Thanks
upside down triangle signs with a yellow border are advanced warning of a speed limit. Is that what you meant?
Great vid - first did this route Waterloo to Wool in 1949 for Camp Lulworth. Memories! 18.39 - Police at New Milton - collecting or delivering?
Literally, I have no clue why Police was there that day.
Thanks for replying anyway. Wish you well and hope you can upload more of this quality.
@@dreadnaught3894 I'm very sorry, but this is impossible. I asked SWR for filming but they declined my offer. So probably, it won't be any new footages. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help.
@ Understood. Do appreciate your efforts, thank-you.
A great video...Ignore/disregard the naysayers regarding the dirt on the window, lets see them do a better production....oh I forgot...they cant!
Many times I said sorry for that dirty window...I'll promise again It won't happen again! Have a nice day!
Great video
Thanks mate
Kind Regards
Please satisfy my curiosity. Was this a 2-unit service before BMH, with the front unit going forward to WEY?
Yeah It was 2-unit service before BMH ;)
What is it with the TSRs? You don't take them off the screen after the termination board - not once in either video
I was always told that the halt at Hinton admiral was put there as the train crossed the local lords land and he had the right to stop the train if he needed to go to London. How true that was I don’t know. Great video all my home area.
Although I have travelled many times to & from Hinton Admiral station I am not aware of this reason for the station being there. But, because of where it is I would not be surprised. There was a private station at "Avon Castle" about 1.75 miles from Ringwood on the line (closed end Sept. 1935) between Christchurch (Dorset now) and Ringwood (Hampshire) where this was the case. (Reference "The Branch Lines of Hampshire" by Colin G Maggs published by Amberley Publishing.)
I don't know about Hinton, but that is true of Beaulieu Road. The station was not originally intended to serve the village of Beaulieu (hardly convenient because it's over 3 miles away across heathland and woodland), but was a 'personal' station built for Lord Montagu as a concession for allowing the railway to be built over part of his Beaulieu Estate. A special signal would indicate to the train drivers that they should stop for the Lord and his guests. Nowadays anyone can use the station.
I think you'll find this is a true account. The Meyrick family, who owned the land that the 1888 line to Bournemouth traversed, allowed the building of the railway on the proviso that they could stop a train to travel. This was possible while there was a signalbox at the station but with the electrification of 1967 and the subsequent removal of the box, this was no longer available!
58:50 RIP Bird
58:52 RIP bird. :-(
It was a bee
@@russouk a bit too big to be a bee but too not-loud as to be a bird. Maybe a wasp.
Is announcer aboard or is it recorded or from base ? smear on window vanishes if you dont pay attention to it...hardly noticed it after while. our networks are fantastic,its the management thats at fault usually,prices ruin it otherwise great....quality over profit please. you can make a profit,but dont be greedy,...
After Dorchester south, the train went skididipapap on the rail joints for a minute!😂😂
The insect splats right in the middle of the frame and right on the running rail are a distraction. Surely the camera could have been relocated?
Otherwise a great vid.
Camera could have been relocated, but I didn't want to change a position. Thanks
Some of the bridges you go under are completely mislabelled as in the bridge of the Holes Bay relief road says Chippenham,M4 ???
markymash That’s where that road goes from Poole. The A347 is marked one bridge too early though, it’s the longer tunnel like one after regaining the right line at Bournemouth.
that first train that passed after Southampton is a Romsey train not a reading one great vid
I wish everyone would shut up about the window. It really ruins the comments section.
These trains sound great. I like trying to judge what the next station is by using things I know about the area, even though I've never done this journey before - such as Morebus' bus garage in Poole, with Poole Station seen shortly afterwards. That, along with getting to see how the speed signs work, is my favourite aspect about these videos.
can anyone tell me what is that sound is from the train when it starts up? thanks
Done this jounrey many times nice to see it from drivers veiw
Down platform at Hamworthy looks a bit bare now the signalbox has gone.
Excellent, captions make a cab ride. What does the white triangle figs mean above the MPH disc ?
Thanks mate, It means - Warning indicators ^^
Kind Regards
Sory że po polsku, ale angoelskiego nie umię. Co oznaczają te żółte znaki? Bo normalne ograniczenie prędkości jest podobne do znaków drogowych, ale na tych żółtycg znakach są jakieś kropki, albo litery. I jeszcze jedno pytanie: czy angielskie semafory mogą wskazywać ograniczoną prędkość?
Zółte znaki oznaczają tymczasowe ograniczenia prędkości.
Scratches in the center of the screen spoil everything. Can you rearrange the camera?
I will promise, it will not be anymore a scratch like that! Never, ever!
Kind Regards
Still Plenty enough to see. @
It looks like bird shite lol
@@JacobFare: Agreed. I don't mind the scratches too much, they're not even that intrusive really.
Why not clean the windscreen? This is the same train we just came down from London?
Yea, it's the same train.
Okay, will someone please explain why the entirety of the route from London to Weymouth is at least dual-track, apart from Moreton - Dorchester South (and a little bit near Weymouth station)? Who decided to remove the second track there but nowhere else? Because I refuse to believe it was constructed in such a nonsensical bottleneck-creating way.
Moreton to Dorchester south is single but returns to dual line after dorchester. I think its because of the Woodlands I'm not sure plus farms round that area.
Nice video!
Thank you!
Kind Regards
May I ask how the announcement works on trains? Like automated announcements
i'm assuming GPS
how come theres so many police on the platforms?
I don't know.
More like transport police just checking the stations
What was with all the Police Officers at Brockenhurst and New Milton?
AndreiTupolev they were British Transport Police, they Police the rail network throughout the UK. They are a regular occurance at most railway stations. The ones in the brighter blue shirts are known as Police Community Support Officers, they do not have the same powers as regular Police Officers
Are there 2 different railspans/width we see here?
3rd rail is for electricity supply.
