It's a shame that at Castle Cary, the 1436 from Paddington arrives 6 minutes after the 1609 train to Weymouth; it would be a nice little connection if the 1609 was allowed to depart at say 1619. (From Dorchester to Weymouth, it would have to slip in behind the 1435 from Waterloo but could turn around in time to depart again at 1730 back to Bristol.
