Can anyone post a list of Monday to Friday departures from Paddington which are booked for a 165/166 Turbo? I assume all of the Bedwyns see them but not sure which of the Oxford fasts have a Turbo. Plus are there still any Reading/Didcot stoppers that have a Turbo instead of a 387? Thanks in advance.

I think it is now, tracing diagrams and their interaction with Kennet Valley, Didcot shuttles and Thames branches:

0542 Greenford
0706 Bedwyn
(0721 Oxford)
0750 Great Malvern / Moreton-in-Marsh (2 units)
0906 Bedwyn
1006 Bedwyn
(1050 Oxford)
1106 Bedwyn
(1120 Worcester Foregate Street)
1150 Oxford
1206 Bedwyn
1306 Bedwyn
1350 Oxford
1406 Bedwyn
1450 Oxford
1506 Bedwyn
1606 Bedwyn
(1652 Oxford)
1718 Oxford
1756 Reading
1906 Bedwyn
(1951 Oxford)
2050 Oxford
2118 Oxford
2218 Oxford
2221 Bedwyn
2250 Oxford
2320 Oxford
0025 Oxford

0721/1050 and 1122/1652/1951 should actually be part of IET diagrams (the 1652 has been timed for 125mph but took 31 minutes to Reading today - 1951 was a turbo yesterday) - presumably these workings (other than the 1120 beyond Oxford) need a DOO agreement.

There is an up Didcot Parkway to London Paddington stopper which is booked for a turbo.

The timing load on RTT is usually accurate for turbos

The 08.50 Paddington-Oxford has been worked by an IET for at least a month or so now. Have seen both five-car and nine-car sets working it.

Yes, agree that shouldn't be in the list.
