Anyone know for sure if 166s operate at all on a Sunday on the Severn Beach Line? After checking through the diagrams, I can't be for certain if they are. Thanks.

Saturdays 4th and 11th saw that same diagram Turbo operated too. Apparently the reason for the diagram having a 9 headcode when heading into Wales is because it's only cleared into certain platforms at Newport.

I seen in Turbo Cascade forum that they not cleared into Platform 1 until work gauge Clarence work is done that is due sometime next year.

The Swindon shuttles were cancelled at least this evening due to lack of traincrew. 1815 arrival into Bristol TM and 1825 back to Swindon. Same for later service too I believe. Did it run at all?

Already posted here but not in full detail as it is only provisional rather than an established diagram:-

Probably will be in the future though
