To get your moneys worth I would do the WAG set to at least Hereford, if not Shrewsbury. I would also try and fit in a few FGW HST moves as they won't be HST for long.

The OP has around 3 years before the HSTs go, but yes I would recommend enjoying the experience in case they don't get another chance to do so.

It's a great experience trundling down the Pembroke Dock branch in a HST! I must do it again soon!

The South Wales rover is valid all the way to Fishguard harbour, milford haven, Pembroke Dock, Shrewsbury (via the HOWL, and the Marches), and Gloucester.

If you're going to do the Pembroke Dock and Milford Haven branches, I suggest going to one, catching a bus to the other and returning from there. There's a pretty good service between the two.
Going out and back to both is rather time consuming.
I'm planning to do this myself sometime next Summer. Done Fishguard many times en route to/from Ireland, but need the other 2 W Wales branches.

That's correct . No Railcard discount. It is valid on more than just rail services.
