Yes it is a little weird that details of these extra trains haven't been published(other than South West Railgen which the general passenger wouldn't use). No mention of these extra trains on TheTrainline.com or Qjump. No mention whatsoever on the Wesex Trains website. Though on FGW's site, there is a mention about the event and that they are working to put on extra trains - http://www.firstgreatwestern.co.uk/even ... p?item=422

I think maybe the reason they don't publish the timetables of these extra services, is because Wessex and FGW don't want these services to become all booked up and then have many passangers who haven't booked unable to board the trains. So maybe a wise decision. Though I think the average passenger who travels anywhere between Bristol and WSM would not book anyway, and just pay on the day.

Yes but surely the majority of people will look to see when trains run as they'll want to get to the venue at a certain time, usually a short time before the "doors" open. If they can't see the extra train times in any obvious places, they'll turn up at the station and you'll have a lot of people trying to get on the "known" train, even if there are plenty of posters and announcements regarding extra ones (which there probably won't be :P ). I expect the timetabled trains will be overcrowded and the extra ones empty!

25c in the shade, 33c in the sun at the moment and VERY humid! :)

The sky's clear though so you may be lucky and avoid any thunder!

Yes you could be right there James. I was down in Temple Meads yesterday and there were no posters whatsoever mentioning the extra trains to/from Weston! It may well be possible that passenger numbers on these extra trains could actually be fairly low.

Think I might email Wessex to enquire why they haven't published details of these extra trains. Will be interested to know why they didn't!

I may have chickened out but Chris Perkins was there to record the event for posterity :D

I'm glad I didn't go to the T4 On The Beach event itself as well...by the look of things all acts were MIMING :evil:

p.s. Apparently there was an 8-car 158 out and about today as well!
