TALKS have broken down between the Department for Transport and South West Trains, which is owned by Stagecoach Group, over a proposed direct franchise award of 26 months which would have allowed SWT to continue until 2019. The franchise will now end between February and August 2017, and Stagecoach will have to compete with other contenders for the next contract instead of carrying on unchallenged.

The covered footbridge (with open sides) at Pokesdown provides a good vantage point on a wet day. Evidently the station once had more tracks than the two that now suffice. Most SWT services in the Bournemouth area are handled by 444 EMUs but the Class 450 suburban sets make appearances on stopping trains. 450561 is on the rear of a westbound eight car set making its last call before Bournemouth.
