I may well be using this service in the coming days. What are the loadings like? Will I get a seat? Thanks

0600 arrives bpw at 0805, would be quite logical to be that unit that returns to taunton

It's usually well loaded, and perhaps once a week you might have to stand (but not a sardines situation). If you get to the station for just after 8.00 you should be first on and then you can pick your seat. (Although not today where it was late and left after the Weymouth train).

I'm quite surprised how well it's used by people changing trains. Very popular with people getting off the Pad - Swansea train (due at 8.07), and then travelling on to places like Weston SM. Although obviously quite a culture shock from a 125 to a 143.
