    This route would comprise of 3 separate lines, and would also mean that the only remaining section of the South Western Main Line to create would be Southampton to Woking. The line between Bournemouth and Weymouth is around 35 miles long, the Poole Docks line is 2 miles long, and the route up to Yeovil Pen Mill is 18 miles long in addition to the line up to Yeovil Junction, giving a total route mileage of 56 miles.

    Proposed Rolling Stock

    I may add more details to this. I tend to like to research UK ideas.

    The original plan wasn’t meant to be but it would very much be a possibility.
