Which workings can I find a class 150 on the Welsh Marches Line on a Sunday?

I’m sure this question has been asked several times before (I did try to find it), I’m planning on taking a trip between Manchester Piccadilly and Shrewsbury, and I was working if anyone knew the Class 150 diagrams for Sundays? Or is it completely random? I know the Class 175s can be scattered across the network in Sunday’s - justifying the use of Class 150s/158s

The regular ones are:-

1W07 1034 Cardiff Cen to Manchester Picc return 1V16 1430 Manchester Picc to Milford Haven (2 x 150s)
1W09 1135 Cardiff Cen to ManChester Picc return 1V18 1530 Manchester Picc to Cardiff Cen
With the 1W09 have known 1 or 2 or even 3 x 153s !!!

There are others booked for 158s which could be substituted by 150s.

Usually the 1430 to Cardiff Central.

Correction. It used to but it now attaches to 158 off 0918 ex Cardiff and returns 1330 to Cardiff. The 1430 is now worked as a pair of 150s off 1034 ex Cardiff, splitting at Whitland for Milford Haven and Pembroke Dock but is a 175/1 in the Summer.

Yes you're right of course. The stock for the 1430 from Manchester comes from Cardiff as a pair.
