What stock is being used on the Okehampton line?

[Brush 4]

Are they getting extra DMUs transferred from elsewhere, because in May, the hourly service starts.

As a 769 comes on stream then a 165 can go west from Reading, by way of the refurbishment? . There are 16 3 car 165s and I think 19 769s in the next year. I think I read some where they are owned by the same rolling stock company.

Today is 4 x 150, however the line is cleared for 150, 158 and 165/166 - all have been used in the staff training so far.

No, Angel Trains own the 165s. Porterbrook the 769s.

I should have said the 150s at Exeter are owned by Porterbrook and as 166s replace them it keeps Porterbook happy. Unless I am wrong about ownership. Bristol did send a 165 down to couple up with the 165 used for training for one trip on the school run to Torre.

The 150s at Exeter are a mix of mostly Porterbrook but also 3 are Angel sets

As none of the 150s or 165/166 fleets are planned to go off lease the ownership is pretty irrelevant. The ROSCO is primarily concerned with the train being on lease.
