Thanks guys for the updated info'.

Shame about the loss of the Mk 3's as the seats with leg room are far more comfortable than a 150. Although if the earlier poster's statement about broken air-con is correct then the less good seats on a 150. but with open air vents, is slightly preferable to a Mk 3 without working air con if it is a hot day.

On Saturday 31st July amongst those at the lineside watching the Class 67 arrive at Weymouth was a person stating that although the train will continue to run as advertised sufficient numbers of the extra transferred in 15* units are now available with the outcome being the SO 9:09 train from Bristol and the return diagram from Weymouth will run but with  a unit formation and not the loco + 4 set.

Is anyone able to give a definitive answer as to whether this rumour has substance, i.e. is true, or is just a false rumour?
