In a first visit to Yeovil Railway Centre, Saphos Trains used West Country locomotive 34046 'Braunton' to power Bristol to Weymouth excursions on Wednesdays 26 June and 3 July 2019. Steam was detached at Yeovil Pen Mill and a diesel took the coaches to Weymouth and then banked the train on Upwey bank on the return.
