Hmm that trip to Paignton doesn't sound too bad
Maybe FM Rail could turn 56303 into something like this for a merrymaker!

It is extremely unlikely a 56 will work an FM Merrymaker, for the simple fact, it can't supply ETS, so the air con will not work, along with lights etc, and mk2's with absolutely no air con on a hot day soon become ovens.
I can't see these Merrymakers taking off personally though, as, most are during the week, so unless you are unemployed or an old fogey, you will have to either skip school or take time off work, so that basically rules out families on the trains (bar the few weekend dates) For example the South West tour from Sheffield on Tues 12th, I was going to do it, until I realised the 12th was a Tuesday, my second day at sixth form, so that is a no no, and basically that is the same for I would imagine well over half the people on this forum.
