As Swanage is neither a network station or open daily all year should it be listed as the next station on the list? I would have thought that Parkstone, Poole or if the Poole Harbour is not part of the path, Bournemouth, would be the next one.Britmax 23:13, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
- The fact that it is not connected to the rest of the network does not stop it being a station. (witness the Isle of Wight line). The fact that it is not open all year does not stop it being a station (witness Newbury Racecourse, Smallbrook Junction). Wikipedia should surely report the facts, not interpret the facts; neither Parkstone, Poole, nor Bournmouth are the next station for as long as there is a station at Swanage. Though perhaps an annotation to the effect of your point would not be out of place, to avoid any travellers getting stuck unduly. 82.10.108.49 21:06, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

- That's what I was concerned about. I may do somethiing about that, and the confusing route box: the tramway has never had a platform at Weymouth town, the junction is north of the station and faces Dorchester, and the old boat trains used to go straight down to the Quay station.
