With all this discussion of potential destinations for 5043, has VT ever run to Weymouth? It may be a long day out from Birmingham, but perhaps putting steam on at Gloucester as with the Cheltenham Flyer would be do-able. In view of 5043's reputation for flattening banks, this would be quite an interesting run, with Brewham, Evershot, Upwey and Filton to give the engine a good work-out. There was talk of a turntable being installed at Weymouth this year, but I haven't read much about it in the railway press recently.

I think it would be too long a day to Weymouth. To give an idea using the timings( from UK Steam) for last years RTC Bristol - Weymouth trips, and the Diesel times between Tyseley and Bristol from this year Cornishman it would be a 5.20am start from Tyseley and a 00.55am return.

I doubt the water carrier would be an option to make Weymouth viable either, not without assistance on Upway anyway.
