Melksham, Frome and Weymouth loop

Whilst out on the trip to Filton Abbey Wood one of my trains was destined to finish in Frome. This made me realise that I had not covered this line. Briefly looking at a map showed that the line through Melksham was one I was missing too. Instead of thinking 'OK that'll do , I pushed it a little further.

Plan

As usual I'll be starting off in the Croydon area. Most likely I'll head up to Farringdon to use the Elizabeth Line to Paddington.
This is where the fun begins (GWR permitting!)
I'll start out on the 1XXX xx:xx Paddington to Swindon. So far no new lines covered.
The change at Swindon change means that I'll be able to catch a connecting train to Westbury. New line of course.

From Westbury there are a few choices but the one I will decide on will be the one that goes down through Frome to Weymouth. Another new line covered.

Now for the last bit of new line for the day - Weymouth to Bournemouth. I'll stay on the trin to Clapham Junction then chenge there for Selhurst.
