Thanks everyone, I much appreciate your help. From what everyone had said, I think my spinster lady definitely would have travelled to London then down to Hastings. It was Christmas 1877, a cold and tiring journey that began and ended in darkness I suspect. As a matter of rather ghoulish...
Thank you so much Sprinterguy, I was afraid no-one was going to answer me.
I suspect you are right re my person travelling to London from Bournemouth then down to Hastings. Do you think that would still be quicker/more convenient than going by coach?

I am hoping someone can help me with this query. Was it possible to travel direct by train from Bournemouth to Hastings/St Leonards in 1877, and if so, how long would it have taken?
