During the peak summer, First Great Western are timetabling a HST set on Saturdays to run from Bristol Temple Meads to Weymouth and return. This will provide more seats in an attempt to alleviate the overcrowding that occurs.

3 May 2014. On the early May Bank Holiday Saturday the HST ran and is seen on the return journey from Weymouth at Thornford. Power car 43040 is leading whilst 43160 is out of sight on the rear. (Photo courtesy Bob Tucker)
