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...

We have a Bournemouth train come through Preston around midday but that
is the only through service from Preston to the southcoast resorts
that I know of .We do have I think two a day to the southwest though
but Portsmouth and all points east are a no no from here direct .

Northbound from Bournemouth:
3 to Edinburgh, via ECML
3 to Edinburgh, via WCML
4 to Manchester
1 each to Glasgow, Newcastle and Leeds

There are 3 northbound trains a day stop at Preston, but only two the other
way, which of course is fairly typical XC.
