    An odd request! I study well on long journeys-I need some recommended train journeys!

    London Waterloo to Poole is just over 2 hours and with your railcard and booking in advance you can book for £7.25 each way so return would be £14.50.

    Fault on 07.55 from Poole

    Good evening, I caught the 07:55 service from Poole to Bournemouth this morning having just missed the 07:39. The train I was on was held outside of Bournemouth for around 20 minutes awaiting a platform to become free. The reason given as a preceding train was blocking the platform due to...

    Poole to Cardiff Central

    Brilliant thank you for the replies. I think the Severn and Solent freedom ticket will be best bet as there isn't many trains on a sunday to Dorchester West from the Bristol area.
