Right, I did the 1800 from Weymouth Sunday night, and got 4 car, along with the 0900 from Westbury, which was 4 car, the 2000 from Weymouth was 2 car

I hope so because 2 car trains on these services won't be enough! In previous years the 8.34 ex Bristol used to run as two 150s or a 150/158 and the 9.34 ex Bristol used to be a 150 with a 153 bolted on. Anyone know if FGW^▸ have any plans to lengthen these trains over the summer holidays?

The 0834 which was the 09XX from Trowbridge, used to be 5 car at 1 point, that was between 37's running it & 31's running it, however I have only been to Weymouth twice since the 31's!

The 0934 was 3 car indeed, as the set used to do the 0714 Warminster - Filton via Dr Days curve, as opposed to via Bristol

Everybody seems be getting in on running more trains, if Butlins can do it why can't Wiltshire County Council.
