Thanks, bet GWR wish they still had them especially given the current situation with the DMU fleet in general.

Two paths are now on RTT from Wolverton to Exeter on Saturday. Perhaps one of them may run?
5th September 2026
5V83 0915 Wolverton Centre Sidings to Exeter Tmd (via Camp Hill)
5V84 1008 Wolverton Centre Sidings to Exeter Tmd (via Bicester Village)
== Doublepost prevention - post automatically merged: ==
It looks like it was the 5V84 via Bicester Village that ran with 150248, 5V83 was not activated.
There is a 5H70 in the opposite direction planned for tomorrow. Again via Bicester Village
5H70 0915 Exeter Tmd to Wolverton Centre Sidings

If they keep sticking to the original refurb order, it should be 150246 heading off tomorrow.

Isn't allocated today so would make sense

Interesting, 150265 was the last one to get its exam last time.

There is a path from St Philips Marsh to Wolverton showing for Friday. I am not sure what class this is for, but turbos always run as 5Qxx to/from Wolverton, so this is probably for a 15x of some description (if it runs)

Could be a 158? 158768 ran to Wolverton as 5H70 back in June

Thank you. I have lost track of how many 150s are away from Devon & Cornwall. I think todays movements make it ?
150202 St Philips Marsh (since 19.05.26)
150233 St Philips Marsh (since 07.10.26)
150261 St Philips Marsh (since 06.10.26)
150263 Wolverton (since 08.07.26)
150265 Wolverton (since 07.09.26)
I do notice that there are no 150s on Exmouth - Paignton or to Barnstaple today, and the St Ives is a 2-car (if the allocation data is correct)

None on Exmouth-Paignton is extremely unusual, this has to be a first for a very long time?

It is very rare, but it has happened a couple of times recently.
