Its been confirmed in this thread that it is booked 158!

Booked, on the other hand, means NOTHING with FGW.

153 318, a scruffy red unit, was on the 1244 PLY to PNZ and 1450 PNZ to PLY return this afternoon running at least 11' late with very unhappy passengers complaining about its condition.

318 is a wreck.

I had it from Dawlish Warren - Paignton a few weeks back.

Bear in mind it was a peak hour working and was on its own it was full and standing. Many seats were taped up with black and yellow tape when I was last on it.
