Anyone know what the next one will be to stand down/how many more will be stood down? Hopefully not 43186/187 as I still need them.

43192 has been stood down and debranded at Laira.
Those two are still around and I think they will be for a while.
Pairs at the moment are
43153 + 43155
43186 + 43188
43187 + 43027
43154 + 43092
43198 + 43029

Have the WSR uploaded their own data onto the PIS?
I remember taking a 150 to Minehead and the stops were uploaded onto the units PIS. When we ran down the Barnstaple line from Norton Fitzwarren I had South Molton added (the only station on the line with totems). Unfortunately because it scrolled across the screen it was nigh impossible to photograph.
Yep full WSR stations and also full WSR on the screens it's all done very well
Laira to Ely Papworth Sidings, 5L46, showing in RTT for tomorrow.

More ex-GWR stock, or XC?

XC have Angel stock too. But my understanding is that this should be ex-GWR stock.

Facebook is currently a-wash with rumours that the GWR HSTs are to increase back to 8 sets. Anyone heard any method/truth to this madness?

I've seen that rumour doing the rounds.
Considering the problems with the IETs it wouldn't exactly surprise me if its true however dont the engines on a few of gwrs power cars need overhauls?

Could they use ex xc power cars if they have more hours left before exam?

There have been rumblings of a short term lease of some of the XC sets, may just be BS though.

Engines and bogies due on several power cars if they were to be returned to service. The rundown has been deliberately managed so that major exams stopped several months ago and engine overhauls have also ceased.
There was a 150 running from Plymouth to Penzance and back today. Plus a 158 later on.

The class 150 did the Plymouth - Penzance section and was set swapped there for the journey onto Cardiff.

It doesn't show up as a 158 much at the moment despite it being booked one and if it there is a HST to cover they can send the unit over to Exeter form a run up there.
What has been communicated to staff is that 3 or 4 sets will be retained to run in 2024 and possibly a bit longer.
