[@donfink7063]

I remember back in the 1950's watching the steam trains negotiating that tramway along the quay to the ferry in Weymouth. They'd frequently have to stop the train and bonce parked cars out of the way that were parked to close to the tracks. As this was way before the time MOT's became standard, sometimes the bouncing had strange results. I can recall seeing vehicle wings etc. coming away in enthusiastic helpers hands.

[@wessexwench6974]

I live in Weymouth. The ‘Boat Train’ service to the quay was an amazing asset to the town. I don’t know any locals who are happy to see it go. They could have revived it and run specials down there and back all year. It was unique. I’m so sad that we’ve finally lost it.

[@ianmcclavin]

Ashurst (New Forest) used to be called Lyndhurst Road. The renaming in 1995 was seen as beneficial to the area, but the "(New Forest)" suffix was added mainly to alleviate confusion with the other Ashurst station, on the Uckfield Line in Kent (close to the East Sussex border).

[@grahamfraser702]

Travelled on that Weymouth Harbour line through the streets of Weymouth in the 1970s (heading for a ferry) - it was a wierd experience looking out of the carriage window into the front rooms of houses 20 feet away!

[@MrNg50]

Had the pleasure of being a secondman on the route. Two shunters and sometimes the police. The shunters would jump the cars out of the way. The Channel Island Boat Train. Class 33 Weymouth to Bournemouth and depending on the era E6100 or class 73 from Bournemouth. Luggage extender at Brockenhurst. was used for Red Star Parcels. Memories they used to carry me across the line in the fifties.

[@andrewburnett4931]

Used to shunt the Weymouth tanks, Fareham and Hamble, but we were leading railman by then. Happy memories!

[@christophernoble6810]

The unusual device that swung across the track at Brockenhurst was used by Royal Mail to get the mail sacks across from the up and down mail trains. I believe there is or was one at Eastleigh too.

[@robertpayne6366]

Yep. I remember the one at Eastleigh.

[@philbraithwaite1316]

Remember seeing trains going to the harbour station when we holidayed in Weymouth in the early 1970s.

[@DCS1967]

There used to be one of those luggage extender bridge thingamies at Eastleigh. It used to bridge the line from the parcel office (roughly where the ticket office is now) to platform 1. The entrance then was a staircase up to the footbridge and the ticket office was on the bridge. That was in the days when Eastleigh had 4 platforms.

[@lauriecroad3186]

Oct 2020 - Actually Network Rail officially gave Poole Council notice that they were going to "eventually" close Poole High Street Level Crossing... However, the tracks are only a few feet above High Tide (the railway being almost on the ancient Sea Moat that ran past the Station Site at the Town Gate, hence Towngate), so no tunnel possible for foot passengers, and no room for an accessible road over the railway. Impasse. The Footbridge is dated 1873 and needs some TLC. Network Rail, please note.

There is footage of British Rail re-claiming the rite of passage for trains to Weymouth Pier The line I believe was originally built for the Portland stone quarry

[@donaldmason4959]

I traveled on this line on a Hertfordshire Railtour Pullman Special back in the 90's to Weymouth Ferry Terminal!

[@tonys1636]

The gap in the middle is because it was an old GWR station with the old 8ft gauge and 14ft wide carriages just like the old Paddington platform layout before they were realigned with extra one or two added.

[@jia709]

they also do that on GWR for the Paddington Trains and say that the trains terminate at Ealing Bdy

In regards to Weymouth you can find old videos on KZbin of people and police pushing the parked cars out of the way as a passenger train makes it way down the street to the dock it looked like a painfully long process.

[@dazzlingdaz187]

Yes I've watched that. I think it lasted until 1995. It's amazing it went that long, considering the speed, organisation and disruption it cost

The weymouth tramway tracks have been sadly removed this year.

[@ianmcclavin]

I was fortunate enough to ride the "Weymouth Tramway" on one of the last days immediately prior to closure. They ran special trains from the Town station at Weymouth (reversing at the points junction just outside the station) for the benefit of folks just wanting to have one last ride through the traffic!! I stayed in Weymouth for a whole week in 1979, and only saw one train on the street-running tracks on my last full day there, on the Saturday. They weren't very frequent then, even less so now!!

[@katesonanadventure]

The notion of not putting the final destination on the departure DMI seems common to me. I've seen it at York (garforth rather than leeds on the harrogate services) and KGX (Foxton on the stopping Cambridge services) Maybe it's another wormhole to go down after least used or request stops is finished?

[@nigelt1218]

FGW do it for slow trains to Paddington from Reading. Advertised as only going as far as Ealing Broadway.

[@Boffin55]

The 'luggage extender' was also used in the morning/afternoon for foot passengers. Not sure if it's the case any more, but a large number (>500) of students arrive at Brockenhurst station for 6th form (across the street down the road a couple hundred of metres), as the 6th form serves everything from the outskirts of Bournemouth to Totton.

There was talk of getting a train to go to Weymouth harbour during the Olympic Games but Weymouth council were apparently worried about the state of the tracks in the road saying they maybe unsafe because it hasn’t been used since 1998 ish ( please correct me if I am wrong ) personally I think it would of been a good idea but with all the health and safety these days Weymouth council probably lost there bottle to do it

[@oninbridders]

I wondered why this video was missing. What's the reason it was taken down?

[@harrierjames7727]

Would be fascinating to re-do the journey today and see the difference!

[@caw25sha]

The tracks in the middle at Bournemouth might have been for the engines of terminating trains to run round to the other end. Were they called reversing loops or something like that?

[@davidlockwood9192]

Chris Webb @Geoff Marshall, the extra lines at Bournemouth Central (Bournemouth West is now a Co-Op and Coach Park) were mainly for freight trains. Though there was also a large MPD as well as freight yard back in the days.....

[@djcwey2402]

Yes the carriage servicing roads at the West end of Bournemouth station used to facilitate the placing of 4REP EMU's prior to the extension of the 3rd rail electrification to Weymouth in the late 1980's. The 4REP would be at the London end of a 4TC consist which would be detached at Bournemouth and a Class 33/1 attached at the country end for the push/pull diesel service to Weymouth. Vice versa London bound trains would arrive from Weymouth pushed by the 33/1 and attached to the waiting 4REP.

That is not any old wooden train on the platform. That is the platform Wilbert Vere Awdry use to visit as a child before his family moved to Box in Wiltshire. That platform is where the idea of Thomas the tank engine was originally inspired from.

I'm sure that there was a luggage extender at Malton station

[@underwaterdick]

"We are in Poole" - I'm very sorry to hear that. I go there frequently by train, the station is pants and very poorly placed within the town. You did pass through Christchurch Station though... and my house. Its strange seeing a 158 used for the Lymington branch, so used to the 450s being used now. And the luggage ramp at Brockenhurst is sadly no longer there, it is sat outside the Network Rail siding there.

[@hannahk1306]

They do the fake destination thing on the Waterloo loop via Teddington, Strawberry Hill, etc. Otherwise, it would show as to London Waterloo when you're already at Waterloo 😆

[@ianmcclavin]

Yes, that practice is common now, the loop services from Cannon Street which loop from one of the three Dartford lines to another and then return to Cannon Street (or Charing Cross) via another branch without going into Dartford Station have these "pseudo-destinations" en route on the outward leg. For example, platforms indicator displays for trains at Abbey Wood returning via Crayford and Bexley to London used to display "Sidcup," these have recently been switched to the Bexleyheath line; the boards now display "Eltham." At Bexley/ Bexleyheath, in the anti-clockwise direction, indicator boards would display "Woolwich Arsenal." None of these destinations normally have trains terminating there, but it's better than displaying "London Cannon Street" on the "country bound" platform.

They do something similar at Leeds/York with the trains on the Harrogate line, if you’re getting a train from Leeds on the Harrogate line, if it’s going to York, the terminus will be shown as Poppleton, and if you’re getting one at York, the terminus will be shown as Burley Park, it’s a good idea as it stops passengers from getting a train to the same destination which will take much longer
