The GWR Portmouth service only issue counted places and are these days usually class 165/166 but sometimes 158s.

Yes. 1Z99 has restarted under its own steam and moving back to Exeter. 1A77 needs 1 more engine to restart to move under its own steam.

1C70 (down failed train) now moved to Newton Abbot. 2 out of 3 engines needed to move 1A77 have now been restarted.
