With good weather and a big event on Weymouth beach today, might need a few taxis:

09:08 Bristol Temple Meads to Weymouth due 11:44 will be cancelled.

Oh dear ... I went to Weymouth yesterday and while our 3 carriage trains (the 08:44 from Swindon was not rammed, it was not quiet either.   And that was the summer Saturday extra service that helps make for a much more frequent Saturday than Sunday service.

Noting that the taxis are expected into Weymouth nearly an hour after the train is due - a really good way to take the stuffing out of a day trip.
