    Surely the golden jubilee was 9 years ago, and 1 year short of the diamond?

    I notice that the 18.20 SWR service from Weymouth to Waterloo was cancelled and started at Dorchester much later where it terminated outbound. That gave the charter an exit slot from Weymouth and a path home.

    Sometimes, behind the scenes, NR signallers do clever things.
