I was out in the Bristol area on Saturday and saw 166210 working one of the BPW - WSM diagrams (now in post #1). Does anyone know if a Turbo is booked for this diagram as I only thought they were meant to work BPW - WSM on a weekday.

The other BPW - WSM diagram was 150263 by the way and not a Turbo, 166208 - 166214 were on the Cardiff diagrams.

Thread updated; diagrams from February for Weymouth, Westbury, Great Malvern and Swindon services now added.

With thanks to @83G/84D

You have to be careful with those - they are the train planning LTP periodic ones. There will be intermediate changes via STP. For example, there will be a change on 29th January when 2 diagrams are added. That then allows class 150 units to go to Northern on w/e 03/02/18.

Thanks for advising. Will update if this changes closer to the time.

I've now been informed that just 5 166's remain at Reading with the rest now based at St Phillips Marsh. All 37 165's remain at Reading at this moment which will be used for now on the branches with mainline services being covered by the 387's between Paddington and Didcot. 10 165's will leave Reading to go to St Phillips Marsh in timing apparently, with the rest staying. Eventually,
majority of the Turbo fleet will be in Bristol with 165's covering Gatwick and Banbury locals only.

My worry is that people will turn up in January expecting a new fleet across the board. In reality Turbo introduction is gradual, expanding current routes until local door control is fitted (February), then gradually added routes to Bath / Westbury / Weymouth / Southampton completed by May, with ASDO enabling gradual 5-car Turbo introduction on Pompey diagrams between September to December 2018.

Given that the average commuter uses the same 2-3 trains every day, there will be many commuters who are still riding the same units as now during next summer and feeling misled.

A good example is the 0723 Warminster-Great Malvern which becomes the 1050 Great Malvern-Brighton. Brighton will not be cleared for Turbos for the foreseeable future, so this key morning peak train off the Trowbridge line retains its 3-car 158 (pretty wedged). Ironically many of those pax will return home on the 1649 Bristol-Weymouth, which originates from Great Malvern at 1450 off the 0900 ex-Brighton. Another 3-car 158, overcrowded and to be retained!

Indeed. Also, the 17.49 Bristol to Weymouth is currently 2 x 150 but I am under the impression that this will become 1 x 16x when Turbos take over on some routes, so would this be a reduction in capacity on one of the busiest services between Yate and Westbury?

All services going over to 166 Turbos will be three cars. There won't be 2 Sets and you can't attach anything else to them.

17:49 Bristol Temple Meads - Weymouth on a Saturday will be booked as a Turbo from February as part of it's new diagram, however this diagram alike all the other Weymouth - Gloucester and Warminster - Great Malvern are subject to change as suggested in the thread.

What makes you think that?

I'm sure GWR wouldn't have enough Turbos to double up which would mean replacing 4 cars with 6 and wasting 2. There are also platform lengths to consider which is why the Cardiff to Portsmouths will convey 5 Cars (166+165). I could be wrong but I think it is a reasonable assumption. Passengers may be sold down the river again, but time will tell.

C;ass 9s STP in RTT as from Monday 1st.
Have now added, but one diagram appears to have 9C87 1800 Cardiff Central - Taunton which then forms 2E30 2035 Taunton - Gloucester. Will this service be a Turbo or will it be a replaced by a Sprinter at Taunton?

What makes you think they would swap it to a sprinter?

It's more likely that the whole diagram would be a 150.
Having said that it's unlikely that it would be diagrammed for Gloucester if they weren't cleared.

The 9xxx head codes are there as a reminder to signallers that Turbos are not allowed through P1 at Newport. There's no reason for them to be other than 2xxx if going to Gloucester.

I didn't think Turbos were signed for Gloucester yet.

I think you'll find that 2C63 0615 Gloucester to Taunton will be a 166 finishing up on Weston to Bristol Parkways. All the STP altered services such as the 0524 ex Bristol revert back to norm from January 1st

And GWR have already themselves mentioned trains to Gloucester going Turbo from the new timetable so we can surely presume that Bristol to Gloucester is now cleared? Not sure about through to Westbury and Weymouth though....

That was done a few weeks ago.
