They do quite a few mini-trips like that. Dorchester to Weymouth is one.

Thanks for posting the pictures of the Duke on Saturday. I don't think I've ever seen it running on the mainline. I liked all the shots, but what was that object at the back of the train? Was it some form of observation car?
I thought that the pictures from Sydney Gardens were pretty good, an far from crudy. I gather that there were problems at Keysham later on. Has anyone posted shots from Temple Meads?

Thats the ugliest Beaver Tail observation car I've ever seen!
