- Weymouth empty vans to Clapham -

 

This train comprised empty vans that were returned from Weymouth to Clapham Junction each day (except Sunday) under headcode 02, departing Weymouth at 09:40. The train was usually hauled by a class 73 loco and it collected vans at intermediate stations along the way which had been left during the night by the two down trains, being the 22:52 and 02:15 workings from Waterloo. The vans were berthed at Weymouth in Jubilee Sidings.
