| No Bill - you may be the 'King' locally but never Duke of Gloucester!! |

| ....and then moves through Platform 4 in order to run round the support coach.... |
| ....which Class 33 33202 'Meteor' has already done using Network Rail lines. The ensemble then returns to Yeovil Pen Mill and eventually is reunited with its train at Weymouth. |
| Class 33 and 71000 arrive back at Weymouth - note the stock in the sidings to the left. (photo courtesy David Coombs) |
| After dividing, the Class 33 is attached to one end of the stock and 71000 to the other. The ensemble is then towed out of Jubilee sidings by Class 33 into Weymouth station. (photo courtesy David Coombs) |
| The Class 33 was apparantly not required as banker so 71000 hauled 11 coaches + one diesel out of Weymouth-amazing (photo courtesy Roland Groom) |
