Shortly after our arrival, ''Wessex Electric'' No. 2409 trundled in to platform 2. This class of unit has found a
new home on Central Division lines. David Glasspool
Now in the town, the former Weymouth Quay station is observed, still complete with double-track formation
alongside. As can just be seen, a tall fence has been erected half way down the platform face. Closed to regular
traffic in 1987, a summer Wednesdays-only service was run in 1993, using Class 37 diesels and BR Mk 2 stock.

No sign of our excursion stock, just ''Wessex Electric'' No. 2403 sitting in silence in platform 2. As mentioned
in the main text, we were told at this point that the steam engine had not even reached Yeovil. Passengers were
therefore given the option of using No. 2403 to get back to London, excursion tickets being valid. This was the
18:00 service to Waterloo. David Glasspool
