Topic: Weymouth special this summer? (Read 2112 times)

[Part of my complete update ... reposted here for comment] 7. A suggestion that we run a seaside special this summer from Swindon / Chippenham / Melksham to Weymouth - perhaps by extending the first Sunday train from Westbury - has been declared a non-starter by First who have no capacity for specials, even at the weekend. We are currently investingating whether we can arrange a coach for a part yo join that train at Westbury, leaving from melksham station and returning to there by train at the end of the day. |

Looking promising for this trip, on 5th August. All legs sourced in principle and we're just checking up on pricing and connection guarantees on the return at Westbury - don't want to risk a party of 53 stuck there for 2 hours on Sunday evening if FGW do what they did last Sunday which was to chuck everyone off the Swindon train early, sending passengers for Chippenham and Swindon via Bath and missing out Melksham completely!
