It looks like 150246 may be having a day out to Cardiff today unless these allocations change?

2U14 0945 Plymouth to Cardiff Central

2C79 1400 Cardiff Central to Plymouth

Good old 150s save the day again, those units really are workhorses.

150's everywhere today, one went to Cardiff, two on the Barnstaple (the other diagram was a 166), two on the Okehampton (often at least one of them is a 158 on a Sunday), but two 158's on Exmouth Paignton. Rather bizarre today!

150207 On the way back to Exeter...again...
Worked it today, already got a nice film of grime on the windows... Very bright inside and smells of fresh paint but either way you can roll a t**d in glitter but it's still a t**d...

Absolutely no chance that's right. But.... I'll be at Exeter St Thomas around then anyway... May as well check it out...

Can't confirm this but seems to be the case with 2x2 lopped off at Plymouth.

GWR are officially mad. It is 4 of them in the end. I doubt all are in passenger use.

150263 stabled at Truro today, in the siding on the opposite side of the station from the Falmouth bay platform. First time I've seen a passenger train in there.

Quite common when the unit fails they just shove it over there
