The Statesman Rail charter from Hooton to Weymouth on 5th July 2014 produced a pair of Class 57/3s, Nos. 57314 and 57313. In top and tail formation, No. 57313 leads the return service to Hooton out of Weymouth in glorious Dorset afternoon sunshine. Visible in the background is the relatively short lived high level revolving viewing platform. Short-lived following a failure of the platform at the highest point resulting in all occupants having to be winched to safety by a search and rescue helicopter!
