This was the "Poole" station that Somerset & Dorset trains reached over LSWR tracks, reversing at Wimborne. This was inconvenient for the town of Poole, and the LSWR interest built a railway to reach Poole itself from Broadstone, opening on 2 December 1872, and through a daughter company from Poole to Bournemouth on 15 June 1874.
