Today and tomorrow(14/15th of August) the 15.50 Waterloo is being extended from Yeovil Junction to Weymouth, returning at 22.17 to Salisbury. This is in connection with the Weymouth Carnival.
Sadly, today’s working has already been cancelled due to lack of crew.

Not so far off the mark when the tramway was running only it was cars.
My first job at Waterloo, as well as making the tea, was filing reports headed "Train hit Car" at least once a week in summer.

After looking at the CIS▸ information there do not appear to be any short forms on the route today

The service from London Victoria certainly had its full compliment of carriages as it passed me at Templecombe! http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=21886.0 |

Wonder if it’s a standby service in the event of short forms or exceptional weather bringing out the crowds during the school holidays bearing in mind there is no extra Summer Saturday service during the week or the SWR» services that operate Saturdays only.
During school holidays there will be spare coaches to hand to have a standby service that can be called upon at short notice.

I was on the train yesterday from Bath that arrived at Yeovil Pen Mill at 10.12. It certainly wasn't short-formed, it was either 5 or 6 carriages long. I was in the rear carriage and after most people had got out at Bath Spa, it was fairly empty, and for the last part of the journey after Frome I was the only passenger in that carriage - an experience I haven't had on any journey for a very long time. The guard did say the front of the train had been very busy, but there was certainly plenty of spare capacity at the rear.
I got out at Yeovil and there didn't seem to be many people either getting on or off there.

Today, Journey Check says those two additional services are cancelled - due to overcrowding! Additional 10:30 Yeovil Pen Mill to Weymouth due 11:24 will be cancelled.
This is due to overcrowding.
Additional 17:40 Weymouth to Westbury due 19:17 will be cancelled.

Journey Check on SWR» is quite informative but that on GWR▸ seems to put forward the reason from a small, inflexible set of reasons. It seems that there is a multiple choice table of reasons from which you select the most appropriate.
Whereas on SWR you are given a statement which is more realistic with more operator input.

Only thing I don't like about SWR's Journeycheck is that it only shows services for the next two hours. |

Yes, for some reason that has only just become regular. Previously it was only done at times of disruption. Perhaps a setting has been changed and not reversed.
