I didn’t mention 49112 in my post

49113 is planned to be converted from 44008 and is still at Wabtec as far as I know.

I also have 44040 at Wabtec, maybe to become 49111

Ahh my bad, I didn't realise @PaintYourWagon put 49112 instead of 49111.

Thanks for these updates... I had 49102 as ex 44079.... so is there a correction for 49102 please.

Does anyone have a list for the castle class sets with the coach numbers?

No, it’s 44036 assigned to be 49111 (and is at Doncaster). 44040 is at Ely after short term use with ScotRail.

As for the other queries:
49102 was 44083
49112 was 44079

43170 has returned to service prior from having a G exam. It is also named now, not sure what Castle though.

I don't know about "GW93" but the three car set I saw in February was made up of 48131 , 48126 and 49107. Here is my photo on flickr : https://flic.kr/p/2ioGKuX

Glad someone noticed it!

There has been some coach swapping at Long Rock this week. GW93 is spare and has 48231,481332. TGS still same.

I read that there may be more sets orderd

'Modern Railways', May 2020, page 9:

"Industry sources also indicate DfT has asked GWR to present proposals for the replacement of class 150 and 158 sets that operate in the West Of England and to develop a proposal for the conversion of additional 2+4 formation HSTs"

Blimey the Dft must be desperate to get hold of 150 and 158's for use elsewhere, I mean these short HST's must be expensive to operate compared to a pair of 158's added to which the conversion has proved to be time consuming and not exactly cheap. Wouldn't even the 769 concoctions be a cheaper option of maybe even new.

769's seem OK but am inclined to think aren't suitable stock for Cardiff to Penzance in terms of in board environment or performance on diesel between Bristol and Plymouth especially.

Don't forget that the SWR franchise agreement includes doing a 'feasibility study into potential bi-mode conversion of Class 158 and 159s ' - Just because franchise agreement says they should develop a proposal for it doesn't mean it will happen. Quite possible that (like with the SW bi-mode) suggestion the ROSCO has asked for it to be included.
