From my part of the world for many years people have always had to go
to Euston and cross to Waterloo to travel to the south coast by train
Not necessarily (if you are going back as far as 1953!). There were a
number of direct routes - most notably The Pines Express, that provided
a direct service between Manchester and Bournemouth.

Nor do they need to now! Virgin Cross Country run several direct
services per day between Manchester and Bournemouth via Oxford.
Bournemouth has hourly trains in fact, throughout most of the day to
somewhere up north or other, be it left, middle or right, although the
destinations become a little nearer during the evening, I guess the drivers
don't like being in strange places late at night...
