An unexpected but welcome addition. I note that they will also call on Saturdays but not until from Sept 13 although the up train departs 19 minutes later at 1614.

The down train also provides an additional connection at Westbury off the 1310 Bristol Waterloo service (Bath dep 1322), which at long last plugs the 3 hour gap that currently exists in the early afternoon.

There are also changes in the other direction for Frome, with there no longer being a 3-hour gap in the morning and a longer gap in the early evening (around 2 and a half hours compared to around 2 hours.)

Peak morning arrival from the Frome direction at Weymouth is changed - 0820 (currently 0805.)

Peak evening departure from Weymouth towards Frome is changed - 1730 (currently 1711.)
