Branksome
Just off the east end of the platform at Branksome is this junction, where Somerset and Dorset trains used to diverge from the main line to access Bournemouth West station. Bournemouth West closed in 1965 when the Bournemouth lines were being electrified but a new EMU depot was constructed on the station approaches and so most of the short branch is still in use and busy, albeit with empty stock movements. This view from a passing train on the main line on a very wet 23rd May 2014.
