... one could go to Bristol, leaving Weymouth at 4.30pm and returning from Bristol Temple Meads at 11.40 pm, giving one the opportunity to see a show at one of the city’s many theatres.

When I had a student railcard in suburban London, a small group of us used to frequent the clubs up north for a while, long-distance day returns were available quite cheaply with that railcard discount. I think Newcastle one night was done, and back on the last train or staff trains early in the morning. Leeds & York were more often.
