I'm currently staying in the Taunton area for a few days, and would like to have a ride on the Castle Set mini HSTs if I get the chance, either tomorrow or Tuesday.
There doesn't appear to be any running today or tomorrow based on RTT, presumably due to it being a Sunday/bank holiday- but I'm well aware that timing loads are not a guarantee of what will actually operate a service.
Regardless of what a service is timed as, is there a way to work out which services will be Castle sets? Indeed do they even work East of Exeter these days or do I need to head to Devon? I'm happy to do so, but unfortunately the information seems hard to find even on here (as far as I can tell all threads on the topic are either locked or dormant).
Many thanks in advance!
EDIT- Having now searched in Plymouth rather than Taunton I've found that some services are timed as Castle Class, so I was presumably correct in my suspicions that they no longer work beyond Exeter (or even Plymouth). I do notice that from Plymouth some services timed as 80x are Standard Class Only- is this because the First Class is declassified west of Exeter? Or because they're actually a Castle Set or a 158?
