Penzance and Plymouth sign 150s and 153s as well as HSTs. Exeter work the sleeper stock as well as HSTs.

Penzance is Penzance-Exeter, St Erth-St Ives and Truro-Falmouth.

Plymouth is London-Penzance via Westbury, Reading-Taunton via Bristol Temple Meads (possibly via Parkway as well), Westbury-Bath Spa, Chippenham-Trowbridge, Castle Cary-Exeter via Yeovil (may not be all TMs though), Newton Abbot-Paignton, Plymouth-Gunnislake and Par-Newquay.

Exeter is London-Penzance via Westbury, Reading-Taunton via Bristol Temple Meads, Swindon-Bristol Temple Meads via Bristol Parkway, Westbury-Bath Spa, Chippenham-Trowbridge, Castle Cary-Exeter via Yeovil and Newton Abbot-Paignton.

Swansea, Cardiff, Bristol TM, Reading, Worcester SH, London Paddington.

Didn't think there was a depot at Cardiff. Reading is a conductor rather than Train Manager depot, but they do work HSTs, Worcester Shrub Hill was a Conductor depot too but that was possibly made a Train Manager depot as part of the sort of harmonisation, Worcester work HSTs and 16x though, Reading is HST, 16x, 150 and 180 I believe.

Cheers for that. So even the local guards sign Paddington?
