I am not too sure whether the next one should count - the distance from the current station is only about 250m, but it was on a different site with separate entrance etc so …

Bournemouth East (1st station - 1870 to 1885)


PS - I have missed Christchurch 1st station - 1862 to 1886 - which I now think I should have included as the first station was a similar distance from the current one as at Bournemouth. Mea Cupola! (Never could do Latin).

INFORMATION

That 1862-1886 station in Christchurch you describe above was not a station on the line we had been traversing, but was one of the three stations on the Ringwood, Christchurch and Bournemouth Railway, the other two stations on that line being those of Avon Lodge and of Hurn.

Therefore, it cannot be used as a posting submission on the line we were traversing.

On closer inspection of the map I see that you are right - the station was just short of the point of junction with the line we were running on. So I apologise for apologising for not including it ...

This station seems to have had two locations, but I can't find evidence for the first one and in any case it was probably very close to the second - so only one call.
