It is reported in the rail industry and on another message board that First Great Western will charter loco-hauled stock from Riviera Trains with 'top/and tail' EWS locos, possibly Class 37/4s or Riviera Class 47s to operate on peak days this Summer. They will work one service between Bristol and Weymouth, and then operate as a relief to the 17.21 Weymouth-Bristol which is lexpected to be full and standing even as a five car formation.

Two 'top and tail' formations are also to be used for the Glastonbury Festival, these are likely to be operated by EWS Class 67s, and run to and from Swindon.

Actually it was The RailwayCentre.com that carried the information!
