Description

Poole railway station is on the South Western Main Line serving the town of Poole in Dorset, England. The station is situated in the town centre next to Holes Bay. It is one of four stations in the Borough of Poole.The station is operated by South Western Railway and is served by London Waterloo to Weymouth express and semi-fast services. It is also the terminus for the London Waterloo to Poole stopping service. Virgin Trains used to operate services from Poole to the North West and Scotland but since 2007 these now start/terminate at Bournemouth. The station still sees occasional CrossCountry trains on empty stock movements, especially on Sundays and bank holidays, using the terminus as a turning point.HistoryThe first Poole station was on the western side of Holes Bay, at the location that ultimately became Hamworthy Goods. There was a branch to the west of Holes Bay from Poole Junction (now Hamworthy) to the station called Poole, situated to the west of the bridge over the inlet. This was the "Poole" station that Somerset & Dorset trains originally reached over L&SWR tracks, after reversing at Wimborne.This was inconvenient for the town of Poole, and the L&SWR interest built a railway to reach Poole itself from a new junction at what is now Broadstone, opening on 2 December 1872.
