GWR would be a great fit (though I know they have been ruled out due to the fire history). Penzance to Cardiff route would make the most sense due to the average journey times on that route, with plenty of journeys in the 2 to 3 hour range (ie similar to what they do now with TFW). Cardiff to Portsmouth would be a bit of a waste in my view, with most trips an hour or less.
It's a shame GWR has ruled them out as I find them to be exceptionally nice internally, especially the refurbished ones.
