Boscombe railway station served the Royal Victoria Hospital and the centre of Boscombe, in Bournemouth, now in the county of Dorset, England; the station was located in Hampshire for the entirety of its existence.
It also had substantial brick buildings which were demolished a few years after closure.
Trains on the South West Main Line pass the piles of gravel that are all that remain of the platforms.
There have been calls for the re-opening of the station by the Dorset Area Rail Transport System,[1] as well as by the Bournemouth Liberal Democrats.
[2] A major reported stumbling block to reopening is the substantial cost of installing lifts to the tracks and extending the platforms to accommodate 10-car trains.
