Afternoon all just interested if all trains TOCS offer quick sweep of trains before turnaround or only some and the others waits until it’s in the depot for the night.

It has to depend on what the diagrams are like. Merseyrail on the Chester line can't do anything on turnaround because it is 4 minutes at Chester and non-stop at Liverpool. However, onboard cleaners board the train and do a pass through before getting back off and joining a train in the other direction.
At Portsmouth Harbour and Portsmouth & Southsea all trains that are in passenger service have a turnaround clean. There are in house SWR cleaning teams who do their own units plus GWR. Southern have their units cleaned by a contract company, Churchills I believe?
