It has been agreed that First Great Western will charter loco-hauled stock from Riviera with 'top/and tail' EWS locos, possibly Class 37s or Riviera Class 47s to operate on peak days this summer one one service between Bristol and Weymouth. The train will operate as a relief to the 17.21 Weymouth-Bristol which is likely to be full and standing even as a five car formation.

Two 'top and tail' sets are also to be used for the Glastonbury pop festival, these are likely to be operated by EWS Class 67s
