Today 444012 was named Destination Weymouth at Weymouth station.

It was planned to be named Destination Weymouth 2012 but the London 2012 Organising Committee objected to this stating that the "we have to attract £2 billion in private sponsorship and in return we offer exclusive association rights to the Games".

Good on SWT for sticking the name on 444012. At least 12 is in there!!!

Pics of it arriving at Poole after its been named are in the latest Poole Gallery section.

Cheers

I've got gen for the 8th August that the Staines line will be substituted for 442s as SWT think the 455s are rubbish...

Have you been to Poole/Bournemouth more times than somebody who lives there?

Ive been to Bourenmouth and Poole Many times , 8th August Ive already been told that SWT , Dont really like the 455s but they dont mind them.The chance of 442s coming back to SWT is very very very slim at this point in the year so no-one can gauruntee it , A point for those going to the 8th meet I will go to the great cockrow but I'm not part of the meet so odds end I might go , down to byfleet and new haw , and also Chertsey so you wont have to put up with me all day.:smile:

WTF, Hentis lives in Poole (well actually in Corfe Mullen I think), and has a huge gallery of photos from there - some of them rather nice!

Of course, Mr Cairns and some others (possibly Mr Nathan) from here have been there many more times.
