Avonmouth/Severn Beach services, Cardiff to Tauntons and Weymouth/Westbury to Gloucester/Worcester/Great Malverns.

Not sure of individual services though.

I think there's still a few Sprinters, there was a 150 on the 1728 Warminster to Great Malvern one day last week (whether its booked for a 150 or a 166 I'm not sure), and also the 0925 St James Park to Cardiff service is a 150.

That's right. 1728 Warminster to Great Malvern is a 150. One of the Cardiff to Taunton diagrams (1100, 1400 and 1900 ex Cardiff) is a 150/0

They also get to Southampton on the short workings that don’t go beyond there ie not to Portsmouth or Brighton.

Don’t forget the Westbury-Swindon shuttle via Melksham and the Stroud Valley Line.

2 Units cover the Avonmouth/Severn Beach but not the same ones all day as they change over in the evening. There is an additional one early morning due to an overlap. There are 5 Taunton circuits a day, 4 x Turbos and a 150 and one trip covered by a 158
