At 17.40 Fragonset Class 31 no. 31452 “Minotaur” arrives at Maiden Newton on the 2V89 17.18 Weymouth to Bristol Temple Meads service, the return service for the earlier inbound 2O90 from Bristol, seen earlier at Chetnole. 31601 “Bletchley Park ‘Station X’” is trailing, this being its first time out in the Wessex Trains pink garb. At least it’s in concert with the rake of Mark 2 coaches. You won’t miss these easily!
