GWR Class 165/166 Turbo Diagrams

[PHILIPE]

Am unfamiliar with the area so might have missed something, but are all the Portsmouth to Cardiff services Turbos on a Saturday or are 158s still used?

There is a paired 158/0 and 158/9 out

Ok thanks! Do you know which diagrams they're on?

05+30 SPM to CDF
0730 and 1530 CDF to PMH
1123 and 1923 PMH to CDF

I think you mean what train services they work as a unit only works one diagram each day and which is the block of train services above.
There would be 2 diagrams here, one for each unit.


ADD
I should have mentioned that diagrams will be subject to alteration into September due to major Engineering work in the Bristol area.

Yes, thank you!

Only one Turbo on Exmouth - Paignton today, plus three four car and three TWO car 150s. Is there an issue with Turbo availability, meaning that GWR is having to split pairs of 150s?

Due to the amount of crews self isolating, more 16x are needed in the Bristol area to cover for HST turns, as they are core traction and more likely to be a crew available that will sign the stock and route. We may see some Castle sets head south to release 158s from Exeter-Penzance services for Devon Metro, but stock availability hasn't been great, as well as having crew available to diagram sets south.

Had a quick look at dawlish cams and the school train 2T07 was a 2 car 158. That would have been fun. Lost a minute at Newton Abbot and another at Torre.

There would also be a large rehash of diagrams at the moment due to the major Works in the Bristol area

I didn't see a 158 all morning (I was in the Dawlish area from 10.00 until 14.50 but had to walk along the main road to avoid the section of sea wall closure).

Perhaps the fact there aren't any booked along that stretch of line at that time could have something to do with it. . They would be at Exeter for Barnstaple or between Plymouth and Penzance leaving Exeter in the morning and returning in the evening. They can work on Exmouth to Paigntons but on an ad hoc basis

 

[REVUpminster]

I missed it going back to Paignton but it is due back at Dawlish as 2F18 at 12.48

2T15 just gone through Dawlish and was the usual 166.

 

[DannyMich2018]

Today's report - two 166, one 3-car 158, two 4-car and two 2-car 150.

2F26 is due shortly I'll snip it.
Well the diagram is now a 166. Must have swapped it somewhere.

 

[REVUpminster]

2 car 150 on 2T07 school run. Perhaps the grammar schools have closed.

2 car 150 on 2T07 school run. Perhaps the grammar schools have closed.

They break up on Friday according to their websites but the older pupils will have left and there may be a year group or two sent home to self-isolate.

165129 worked 0525 Bristol TM to Exmouth this morning vice 166

 

[ValleyLines142]

Any 158s working Cardiff to Malvern services today or is it all 166s?

 

[REVUpminster]

I was waiting for the wife at the foot clinic and strolled down to the station

165129 approaching platform 1 at Paignton this afternoon.


Shunting from Platform 1 to platform 2 as the 150 leaves platform 2,

165129 working 2F26 approaching Dawlish

...and very smart it looked too.
Whilst commuters might not care as long as something turns up, for holidaymakers it won't seem that they have stepped back in time as far as when a 143 trundled into view.
Apologies to all 143 fans!

 

[DannyMich2018]

166213 at Paington. On the 12.55 back to Exmouth. Another 166 out too today here too.

 

[REVUpminster]

Mixture of trains working Paignton-Exmouth today. 3 car 166, 4 car 150/158, and a 2 car 165.

 

[Kite159]

Sorry if already asked, is there any booked 166/165 workings from Exeter towards Bristol on Sundays to get the units back to Bristol?

 

[REVUpminster]

165129 working 2F10 this morning as I was passing. Usually three turbos (166s) in a row. I'll try and check with dawlish cams.

166 working 2F11.

150 x 2 working 2F12

Noticed 2C19 working wrong road between Dawlish and Teignmouth was a 3 car 158

3 car 158 working 2F10, 2 car 165129 working 2F11 (schools closed so not needing a 3/4 car train on it's 2T07 run), 166203 on 2F12.

I believe that 2F05, the service from Bristol to Exmouth yesterday morning was formed of 150266 + 150219 instead of the booked turbo hence why they were working 2F12 instead.

 

[REVUpminster]

Three 166s working today. Paignton-Exmouth. 2F10 166205, 2F11 166212, 2F12 166*** only just saw it cross the crossing from the car.

I have now see 14 different 166s; probably missed a few.

Yesterday there was a lot of cancellations. One of the ticket inspectors at Torre said a Network Rail vehicle toppled on to the track.
