Trains are a popular method of transport among people needing to travel significant distances on a budget or at speed. Bournemouth, Christchurch, Pokesdown, Boscombe, Branksome, Parkstone, Poole and beyond are served by South West trains taking passengers to destinations along the coast. Catch a Cross Country if you want to travel north – it goes all the way up to Manchester Piccadilly before you have to change.
