Thank you. I note that it is shown as an HST - could this be the last hurrah of full size HSTs?to add to previous replies, it's in RTT as seen here:

There’s a dedicated thread, (which includes a video from 2018 about testing), about IETs running to Pembroke Dock. The question in this thread and follow ups are basically off topic here.An IET at Pembroke Dock would look funky! I don't have the enthusiasm to do that though
Thanks for the link. My apologies for going off topic - I hadn't realised that there was already a thread, and indeed so much interest in this matter.There’s a dedicated thread, (which includes a video from 2018 about testing), about IETs running to Pembroke Dock.

Article has been edited since first released. It confirms the information I gave a few days ago. Last GWR HST in scheduled passenger service will be the 1830 Paddington - Exeter St Davids on Saturday 18th May 2019.
RTT showing at the moment a 1C26 1830 Paddington/Taunton and also a 1Z26 1832 Paddington/Taunton. The former is overtaken by the latter at Reading and then has an extended dwell in P3 at Didcot. I am inclined to think that the latter is the service train.GWR website is now showing an 1827 & an 18.30 Paddington to Taunton (both via Bristol) on Saturday 18th. Is this correct? If so is one to carry 'normal' passengers and one for 'enthusiasts' wanting to travel on the last HST?
Frequently requested diagrams
The GWR HST diagrams (LTP) can be found on the above thread.
But as an example of how they are being altered by the weekly STP diagrams these are how the SO diagrams look for tomorrow (06/04)
Excluding IW1 & IW13 as they are just spare diagrams.
IW2: HST
IW3: HST
IW4: HST (running as STP IW7)
IW5: HST
IW6: HST
IW7: HST (running as STP IW4)
IW8: HST
IW9: all workings on this diagram are IET (802 9 car)
IW10: all workings on this diagram are IET (802 9 car)
IW11: HST (running as STP IW1)
IW12: all workings on this diagram are IET (802 9 car)
Basically there are 8 working HST diagrams.
If the platform allocations are correct then 1C26 continues as 1Z43 to Exeter at 2132 and 1Z26 returns to Reading at 2130. Which would suggest 1C26 is the HST.RTT showing at the moment a 1C26 1830 Paddington/Taunton and also a 1Z26 1832 Paddington/Taunton.

Curiosity killed the cat and all but where do you get this info from?
I'm curious as I would like to get some more mileage in before they go and want to ensure the information provided is accurate!

Are the diagrams scheduled to be as they are currently shown on the 18th?
April Sorry!18th of ????
The STP diagrams are available for 18/04 but 18/05 wont be out for a while yet.
43172 "Harry Patch" is on the rear of IC13, the 12:03 from Paddington to Weston Super Mare. Didn't get a chance to see what was on the front but that was a nice surprise.
