It would be impossible to fit all that in the time available. Why not take the 501 open-topper to Portland Bill? Details on the Weymouth Transport page of http://dorset-transport.info
If it follows the previous X43 pattern the bus will be either a Spectra or Volvo B7 with East Lancs school body in yellow.
It is being run commercially this year for the first time so Damory have judged they will make more money running from Poole instead of Swanage...
The HST is showing in the new timetable as a named train - "The Weymouth Wizard", with on-board Express Café. It stops at Dorchester West in both directions.
The HST ran on two occasions to/from Weymouth during the Olympics. It was a relief to the last Weymouth-Bristol but everyone got on the service train, so it remained on standby after that.

I have a lot of experience of Trip Advisor, having been in the hospitality industry myself. We didn't receive a number 1 rating on TA without a lot of hard work and attention to detail. A warm welcome, first-class facilities, comfortable, quality bedding and absolute cleanliness don't just...
You were either very lucky or blinkered. The Britannia has more TERRIBLE reviews on TA than VERY GOOD and EXCELLENT added together! The Britannia group generally have relatively low ratings compared to other UK chains. We certainly wouldn't include it in our directory.
The last time I tried to buy one off a SWT guard he couldn't issue one and advised me to purchase one from a manned ticket office. In that case I was heading for Exeter Central.
Always try staying a few stations out of large towns and cities. There are several B&Bs in our directory that only charge around £30 for a single:

There's a 6G27 showing from Eastleigh Yard to Weymouth Quay on Wednesday 30 October arriving at 15.50, hauled by class 73. Anyone know anything about it as I doubt the Weymouth Quay Tramway is passable?
