Westbourne: the land train leaves for Bournemouth
This is the western terminus of the prom land train, which runs not only along the coast to Bournemouth and then Boscombe piers, but then up the Boscombe Chine Gardens too. After the most mediocre of summers, this weekend has achieved the hottest October temperatures ever recorded, with 29.9° recorded in Kent yesterday and at least 25° here in Bournemouth. Even now, at around 5pm, the beach is still busy with people enjoying the hot weather shortly before the sun passes behind the cliffs.
