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!

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.
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
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
The entire timetable is very much built around that bottleneck at Moreton. For some time the trains were hourly (and this is still the Sunday service), and once this service got improved in 2007, they had to be unevenly spaced to make sure 4tph (2tph each way) could get through the single-track section. Which is why the departures from Weymouth are at xx03 and xx20, with both up trains passing and then both down trains... and why the fast London-Weymouth trains make two stops (Parkstone, Branksome) that the slower trains don't! Prior to this, there was a stopping service between Wareham and Brockenhurst. This has been replaced by the slower London trains stopping at Holton Heath (which was served only by that Wareham-Brockenhurst stopper) and by the London-Poole stopping service covering all the New Forest stations.
@@shinydavidhowell I don't really understand why a single-track section that takes 5 minutes to transit precludes a clock-face 2tph service. With trains running every 30 minutes, they would expect to meet every 15 minutes, which ought to be plenty of margin to have a single track section of that length.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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 !
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.
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 .

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.

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?
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.
I'd swear there'd been *much* more single-tracking between Poole and Weymouth. And to you toffee-nosed of a snob you, turn Japanese for fuck sake.. .. .. . . .
Don't visit Switzerland then. You will be dismayed to find that they quite routinely run train services three times as frequent as this one over single track. The Lake Zurich left bank line carries three different half-hourly services with different stopping patterns yet has long sections of single track. Strange you don't hear people talking about the Swiss railways as being miserable and penny-pinching.
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!
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.
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).
Why did the train have to stop at new Milton, I know this route well and fast trains don't usually stop there, I saw lots of police on the platform, I assume it was some kind of police incident on the train?
Must be a new driver for he has twice tried cleaning the windscreen. Needs more elbow-grease than the wipers are capable of though! As for the Mileposts - strange thing that somewhere around Wool or Moreton the mileage suddenly jumped up by about 30miles and the posts are on the UP side. Odd!! Upwey must be where fly-tippers live - just look at all the 'stuff' line-side!

05:54 - Is this an optical illusion? That workman seems awfully close to the train when it is speeding by at up to 90 mph! 😮
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.
Great video. Really enjoyed this and I hope you do more from the UK.

I live in dorchester
Same well I'm 10 miles between yeovil and Dorchester
Pity that the view is spoilt by a dirty windscreen
I think you should clean your camera lens, the lines are showing up on too many videos.
The bridges in the UK are amazing!!
That's true!
Kind Regards
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 .
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
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
W Anglii chyba mają ciut łatwiej niż w Polsce, na pewno mają jak to widać na tym filmiku uproszczoną sygnalizacje ^^
Nie mają aż tyle wskaźników. Nawet naszego popularnego sygnału "baczność" używają tylko gdy jest wskaźnik W, w innych przypadkach to jeżeli są np. pracownicy na torach czy coś.
Pozdrawiam
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
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.
Extended to Weymouth in the late '80 s
Strange that they singled the track between Moreton and Dorchester S.
Clean the windshield before you start!!

Dziękuje!

Excellent videos, London Waterloo/ Southampton/ Weymouth. Thank you for sharing.
Not a problem! Kind Regards!
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.
Is it seagull shit on the windshield?
Yeah, it is ;/
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.
Really enjoyed that thank you. Please do some more!!!
Thanks mate : )
No worries and yes, I'm going to filming more train routes in the nearest future!
Kind Regards
Ładny przejazd tylko szkoda że na środku ekranu był brud na szybie albo jakaś szrama ;(
Wiem, wiem, długo starałem się o to nagrywanie, a tutaj taka rysa na środku szybku, jak się okazało to nie był brud, tylko szyba była pęknięta ;/
Pozdrawiam
The red aspect at Holton Heath, was that because of the Wareham to Swanage trial runs running around that time?
Brilliant, any chance of one from London Waterloo to Exeter St Davids please?
Maybe in autumn!
Kind Regards
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?
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.
Why not clean the windscreen? This is the same train we just came down from London?
Yea, it's the same train.
I can't believe that a section of the track is single line on a route like this. What a miserable, penny-pinching country we live in.
I believe It was double track before...
Only one train per hour each way - no big deal.
It was double track.
I'd swear there'd been *much* more single-tracking between Poole and Weymouth. And to you toffee-nosed of a snob you, turn Japanese for fuck sake.. .. .. . . .
Don't visit Switzerland then. You will be dismayed to find that they quite routinely run train services three times as frequent as this one over single track. The Lake Zurich left bank line carries three different half-hourly services with different stopping patterns yet has long sections of single track. Strange you don't hear people talking about the Swiss railways as being miserable and penny-pinching.
Ah very nice been waiting for this. But I didn't know it was posted 3 months ago :c
You're welcome!
Kind Regards
01:01:05 That's not the A354 Portland to Salisbury.
It is the A352 Sherborne to Wareham.
niemal na każdym dworcu pełno policji, jakaś akcja była czy to normalne ?
Nie wiem czy przypadkiem nie były wzmożone środki bezpieczeństwa.
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!
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.
It's now impossible to see the Weymouth tramway as the track for that has now been lifted and removed
Come from Weymouth took this trip Many many Times love the Vid
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).
the DTG SWML (Southampton to Bournemouth) Should've gone to weymouth instead complete scam !!
finally a decent quality video
May I ask how the announcement works on trains? Like automated announcements
i'm assuming GPS
What is it with the TSRs? You don't take them off the screen after the termination board - not once in either video
What is that sound that sounds like a rush of air just before you stop every time? An example is at 1:23:58
Why did the train have to stop at new Milton, I know this route well and fast trains don't usually stop there, I saw lots of police on the platform, I assume it was some kind of police incident on the train?
This service is booked to call at New Milton. :)

this was a semi fast
It is a medium-fast service because it stopped at Christchurch aswell, which fast ones normally don't.
These Class 444 EMU's certainly shift, it was whipping along at times, pretty much 80+ most of the way. Great journey, nice day for it too!
Fast ones stop at Woking but semi don't
nicely done!!!!
Thanks!
Must be a new driver for he has twice tried cleaning the windscreen. Needs more elbow-grease than the wipers are capable of though! As for the Mileposts - strange thing that somewhere around Wool or Moreton the mileage suddenly jumped up by about 30miles and the posts are on the UP side. Odd!! Upwey must be where fly-tippers live - just look at all the 'stuff' line-side!
My mistake was to put my camcorder in that place on the windscreen...
Dirty windshield
@18.37......blimey, it's a Rozzers convention!!!
