    What are the plans for trains that do not comform with accessibility regulations from 2020?

    I saw that Wales rail was keeping 153s after 2020. I guess the toilets will be locked out of use? What's the plans for EMT to comply with accessibility regulations as HSTs and 153s don't comply. Will all other company meet the deadlines?

    GWR 158s Exeter and West.

    158763 did run on this service. Seen it in Paignton. I thought the plan was for 158s to run Barnstaple to st James Park. I thought 150/2s were due to run Exmouth to Paignton or has that plan changed?
