I'd guess a crew training run. There are a lot of crew to train.

OK thanks, they've just added 5Z83 back to pad now, wasn't there before.
Just wasn't expecting it on a vstp I guess.

Ah ok thanks. Just saw 017 outside NP too, guessing they're quite new. So deliveries flowing steadily now then I guess

Also anyone who wants to do cheap IET/HST bashing, I strongly recommend the Cherwell Ranger, £3.80 Child price, £7.60 adult, valid only on Weekends but unlimited travel between Banbury and Reading (via Didcot or fast).
Cheap idea to pick up some IETs - if the weekend diagrams are operating that is!

I would like to do an 800 on Saturday 23rd Dec around late morning/lunchtime from Bristol Parkway either to Newport or Swindon. What's my best bet?

Gives me an idea for the 21st December if I do a Thames Rover
This timetable may change for December timetable change.

GWR timetables are not changing until January.
Not happening now - ECS is now from the Marsh so will be HST:

You can currently get 8 weekday IET trips in on a TR, I did it the other day. It would be 9 trips but for the 1730 off PAD not being an off-peak service (be careful of that, most fasts are peak from 1600-1915).Gives me an idea for the 21st December if I do a Thames Rover
As to what that counts for as haulage depends if you class haulage as having to travel in the actual unit or just somewhere on the pair!
1048 RDG-PAD 1114
1145 PAD-RDG 1210
1234 RDG-PAD 1259 or 1304 RDG-PAD 1333
1345 PAD-RDG 1410 or 1415 PAD-RDG 1440
1505 RDG-PAD 1532
1803 RDG-PAD 1831
1900 PAD-RDG 1925
2008 RDG-PAD 2036

Yes there are. Your link above also states:
Thames Rover (3 day) here: http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/times_fares/pr8b1e090a040002006976d6b4091c35.aspx
Although we're talking about the day rover (but the restrictions are the same), link here: http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/times_fares/pr601e4c0a04000200f63dfe8f29a46f.aspx
Those pages list all the restricted services.

I will be going to Exeter for the new year. Where is the closest these things pass to Exeter, or would I need to go all the way to Paddington?

Taunton or Bristol.

Somewhere in the pair is good enough for me

In fact, if in that list above you include either or both of the "or" options (1304 RDG-PAD/1415 PAD-RDG), that should (assuming they all run on the day) bag you all four diagrams (8 units) in service that day.Somewhere in the pair is good enough for me

Thanks for all the replies. Which IET diagrams pass through Taunton, and at what times? And do any stop at Bridgewater?

At the moment only one return journey:
1C24 1730 Paddington to Taunton (via Bristol TM and Weston SM), arrives Taunton 2023 (doesn't stop at Bridgwater, passing there at 2014). It then returns as:
1A37 2127 Taunton to Paddington (via Weston SM and Bristol TM), and this one is booked to stop at Bridgwater, 2138.

Why can’t you do that here? This is the diagrams thread! It might have been addressed to someone else?

As amended by post #14. Post #1 makes no mention of Taunton.
