Right, I did the 1800 from Weymouth Sunday night, and got 4 car, along with the 0900 from Westbury, which was 4 car, the 2000 from Weymouth was 2 car

I hope so because 2 car trains on these services won't be enough! In previous years the 8.34 ex Bristol used to run as two 150s or a 150/158 and the 9.34 ex Bristol used to be a 150 with a 153 bolted on. Anyone know if FGW (First Great Western) have any plans to lengthen these trains over the summer holidays?


The 0834 which was the 09XX from Trowbridge, used to be 5 car at 1 point, that was between 37's running it & 31's running it, however I have only been to Weymouth twice since the 31's!

The 0934 was 3 car indeed, as the set used to do the 0714 Warminster - Filton via Dr Days curve, as opposed to via Bristol

5 coaches top and tailed by 67's were moving around BTM (Bristol Temple Meads (strictly, it should be BRI)) this morning on the way through, must be one of this lot.

Everybody seems be getting in on running more trains, if Butlins can do it why can't Wiltshire County Council.
