As PHILIPE Says. 150/1 and 150/2 and 153's
158's normally seen on the Cardiff - Taunton Run.
Also In the Evenings there is an Hourly HST to Weston.
and also a Daily XC service
Not True. Varys most days
150/1s, 150/2s and 153s seem to be the most common, from my own observations.
I'm surprised there is one of the two car 158s booked for Weston Super Mare - Bristol Parkway. I can think of other services it may be more suitable for!
Diagrammed, starting with 06 16 Gloucester to Taunton. There are 2 Diagrams for 2 Sets. Day 1 ECS Bristol to Gloucester and 07 15 Great Malvern to Westbury finishing at Gloucester. It doesn't mean to say it's always a 158 though as the diagram is suitable for a 150.

Its so that Exeter West drivers can keep their 158 competency up, other than this service they have no booked 158 work, I should know, I was one of the drivers that proposed it!150/1s, 150/2s and 153s seem to be the most common, from my own observations.

I live here and have seen Class 150's, Class 43 HST (in the evening), Class 153, Class 158 and a daily Class 220. I have been on the 150 and 43 on the route.
Just out of interest, did 143s, when they were based at Bristol, work many of the Bristol Parkway - Weston Super Mare diagrams? I am aware they used to do the majority of the work on the Severn Beach line, but I can't find much else about other services they worked around Bristol.
They did however they were only Bristol Temple Meads to Weston - Super - Mare. Until the Platform 4 was built when it was extended to Bristol Parkway
Interesting - thanks for this!
I have seen a picture of one at Taunton working a service to Cardiff Central before - Feel sorry for passengers doing that end to end. I'm almost surprised it made it through the Severn Tunnel.
