For anyone who cares, this forms the 1332 to Cardiff then the 1600 to Weymouth, so will be booked 3 car I belive

So it's a positive move. Makes you wonder why they didnt think of it in time for last December's TT. This would have deflected a bit of negative publicity surrounding these stations losing one of their services. This service along with the 08:34 Bristol-Swindon (again was going to ECS but which started as a passenger service at December TT change) means that overall Keynsham and Oldfield Park still have a pretty respectable service in the Bath direction.
