There are two stations in the town, Bournemouth railway station and Pokesdown railway station to the east.
Parts of western Bournemouth can also be reached from Branksome station.
All three stations lie on the South Western Main Line from Weymouth to London Waterloo.
South Western Railway operates a comprehensive service along this line, which also serves Southampton, Winchester and Basingstoke to the east, and Poole, Wareham, and Dorchester South to the west.
Before its closure in 1966, Bournemouth was also served by the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway which provided direct access to Somerset and the Midlands.
