im visiting Devon from tomorrow until Thursday, im staying in Teignmouth. Which services out of Exeter St Davids are currently booked for class 150 or class 153 units.

Is there still a pair of class 150s on the St Ives, and is there still 3x class 153 units booked to operate the 1555 Plymouth - Penzance service.

Are the booked unit diagrams still the same as back in June, and is there still a class 153 & class 14x booked to run the Exmouth - Paignton services, and is the 2125 Plymouth - Exeter still formed by a class 153 unit.

Out of Exeter the first Barnstaple service is booked for a 150/1, that diagram stays on the Devon local services all day afterwards. All the morning services to Penzance are booked for 150s. The 0800 Cardiff to Paignton and 1247 return is a Class 158 and Class 153. The 0900 Cardiff to Plymouth is a 150/1. The 1607 Exeter to Plymouth and 1745 return is a 153. The 1710 Exeter to St James' Park, 1740 St James' Park to Paignton and 1852 back to Exeter are all 150s. The 2149 Exeter to Bristol is a 150.

There are several 153s around on the Devon local services attached to 142s and 143s.

The St Ives branch is currently a single 150, and the 1557 Plymouth to Penzance is a 150 and a 153. The only service booked for three 153s at the moment is the 0520 Penzance to Truro.

The unit diagrams have changed a bit from June but they will be relatively similar. There are still 153s around on Devon local services. The 2125 Plymouth to Exeter should now be a 150.

Out of curiosity, does that mean that the Cardiff to Paignton / Plymouth (can't remember which one it was) is no longer served by a pacer? I couldn't believe it when I got that service and saw it was a pacer doing it!

The 0933 Exeter to Cardiff and 1300 return is the one booked for a 143, and it still is at the moment. Will become a 150 by December though.
