Sorry for the delay in replying. The line has been cleared for use ahead of a few gauging modifications needed at Moreton bridge, between Saundersfoot and Tenby, and Tenby station itself.

I was on the 1535 from Tenby on Saturday and passenger figures were reasonable for this time of year - the morning departure to Paddington is always the busier of the two trains.

Both return services on Saturday used HSTs (High Speed Train (Inter City class 43 125 units)).

Relaxez-vous.... the entire line to Pembroke Dock has been cleared by Network Rail for IET (Intercity Express Train - replacement for HSTs (manufactured by Hitachi in Kobe, Japan)) use, although there's as yet no news from GWR (Great Western Railway) as to when the first new train will use it.
