I don't think it's been mentioned in this thread yet, but it seems the Heart of Wessex line has seen a significant improvement to its winter Sunday service.
From December 11, a train leaves Bristol at 08.23, to give a mid-morning arrival in Weymouth at 10.42. The unit then returns at 11.05 northwards. OK, this only goes to Westbury, but it connects into a Paddington express and a Pompey-Bristol service.
I think there was a similar train running on Summer Sundays (but from Westbury, not Bristol, and not in winter). So this is a vast improvement, especially for passengers between Weymouth and Bruton wanting to head north and east. Previously, the first train out of Weymouth was not until 14.15. (I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.).
