Branksome: double viaduct

Surrey Road passes under two viaducts in quick succession, though only one now carries track. The near viaduct used to provide rail access to the old Bournemouth West station, which is now a train maintenance depot. The depot is accessed only via the southern 'arm' of the triangle (see map), meaning that this particular viaduct is redundant. The far viaduct carries the mainline between Weymouth and London Waterloo.
