Title: Last Chance Sunday ... Post by: grahame on August 22, 2011, 07:34:05 Next Sunday, 28th August ... last of the TransWilts extra services. 07:30 from Westbury to Swindon, and 08:20 Swindon to Weymouth. All welcome and some silly-cheap fares available!
Yesterday ... great day out. 82 passengers on the 07:30 by the time it arrived into Swindon, and 253 on the Weymouth train when it reached Westbury. Stock was 2 x 150/2 - so that's about 300 seats, right? Great to meet TrowRes on the 07:30 and RogerW with us morning and evening return too - and thanks, Roger, for all your help. We had quite a crowd! Title: Re: Last Chance Sunday ... Post by: grahame on August 27, 2011, 07:40:40 Weather forecast for tomorrow (Sunday) - showers in Wiltshire and sunny intervals in Weymouth. Looks like it's a great day to take the train ...
