technically that is true, the station is closed, but that does not mean you cannot get there, normal trains are running to parkway / eastleigh with bus replacements from there, so it is business as usual just allow a bit longer for your journey.

Bus service from Bournemouth? F::ck that! Looks like i'm driving then...

 

It's showing as operating on thewebsite: http://ojp.nationalrail.co.uk/en/s/timetable/details?id=1&return=false&callingPage=t

 

I think it's only partial closures to some services and this website is supposed to be up to date. Aren't they working on the tunnel?

Fom the Nationalrail website. I suspect that most disruption will be on Sunday, but best to check direct with the train operators.

Gave them a call earlier and was told there would be a bus service replacing the train. On that basis i'm out. But it wouldn't surprise me if he's talking out his a::se. Not worth the hassle though. I only opt to train it so i can have a few extra beers anyway.

Even better, mate, it said "trains from Parkway to the ground." Didn't it? Did I dream that?
