It ended up with runs to Barnstaple, Paignton and Exmouth!

It is certainly not a surprise that 202 is not working but to have 35% of a fleet OOU is pretty awful. 216 is now on the the EXM/PGN services coupled to 261.

According to my notes; 233 has only worked one day (8th August) since 14th July 234/247/263/66 last worked respectively 17th, 13th, 14th & 15th August, so all recent absentees. Happy to be corrected!

I think the answer is 16 but am open to correction. Exmouth/Paignton 6, Okehampton, Falmouth and St Ives 2 each, Gunnislake, Looe and Newquay 1 each, also 2P01 one.

207 and 216 are paired today on one of the the EXM/PGN diagrams. Still no sign of 202 and far as far as I can see 6 of the 20 150s are confined to barracks.

For whatever reason the move has been cancelled. Neither 202 nor 216 are out today so far.

Anyone know which unit other than 150243 was on the Okehampton services today. RTT is keeping it a secret!

Just noted 5H70 Monday 21st Aug, 08:00 Exeter TMD to Wolverton. Now, is it 202 going back again or another unit. Anyone know?

I have not heard anything, which is a little worrying. 233 seems to have problems, only noted once since mid July. GWR really need these two up and running in view of the number of short formed trains on EXM - PGN services. Whilst typing this it now seems that 219 is in trouble.

Can anyone confirm that it is 216 rather than 207 that is next to go? As far as I can see 216 hasn't been in action since last Wednesday.

Are there issues with Bristol based Turbos? Or more issues than usual.... Only one on EXM-PGN today.

My records show that it last worked Exmouth-Paignton services 18th February 2022. I do not know when it actually went to Wolverton.

5V83 0725 Wolverton Centre Sidings to Exeter TMD Departing on 15th August 202 Looks like 202 is coming home on Tuesday. No return working showing as yet.

https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:K03499/2023-08-08/detailed I see there is a path from Exeter to Wolverton tomorrow. Would that be for 150207?

That got cancelled too.

Looks as if the return has been cancelled. RTT reports a problem with the schedule.

It looks as if 150202 is on its way back to Exeter on 24th. 5Z50 0744 Wolverton Centre Sidings to Exeter Tmd Departing on 24th July 2023 However it look like another unit is going away for treatment:- 5Z50 0648 Exeter Tmd to Wolverton Centre Sidings Departing on 25th July 2023 Anyone know any...

Any update on this very long term absentee (150202)?

Below are the departures from Exmouth yesterday 20th June. Today is going in a similar way. Single 150s late evening - 2T36 onwards - are not an issue. Hope this works, have not uploaded an image before!

I don't know what normally works these services but looking at the Southbound trains at Castle Cary today they are all 2 or 3 car Turbos, so that doesn't look like strengthening.
