If anyone fancies sampling 150127 on Saturday it **should** be on this diagram:
5C41 04:05 Laira TMD▸ (Traction Maintenance Depot) to Par.
2C41 06:10 Par to Penzance.
2P03 07:45 Penzance to Plymouth (with FNW 153361).
2C44 10:00 Plymouth to Penzance.
2P15 12:50 Penzance to Plymouth.
2C47 15:57 Plymouth to Penzance.
2E82 19:08 Penzance to Exeter St.D (with 153368 from PLY» (Plymouth - next trains)).

Thanks for that, yet to sample one so will do.
And where will 153361 go after getting to Plymouth and when will 153368 arrive in Cornwall.
Woah, just realised I posted this at 22:00:00

153368 was to attatch to 150127 at Plymouth having come off the Looe branch. However this was swapped overnight and will now be 153380. 153368 is today on the Newquay diagram but as Newquay branch is closed will spend most the day sat at Par, will end up on 16:03 PAR to PLY» (Plymouth - next trains) and 17:32 PLY to PAR. Not sure where 153361 ends up on arrival in PLY.

Well call it what you like.
It was worth it, nice unit.
Everything else went pear shaped though.
The 5:30 service from BTM▸ (Bristol Temple Meads (strictly, it should be BRI) but BTM is a commonly used alternative)) failed at W-S-M so was started at Exeter with half of the service from Exmouth leaving both of them as a single 153. Lots of overcrowding. 158762 was on the 6:48 from BTM though although I found an extraordinarlly uncomfortable Richmond seat.
I like the warning on the toilet of 150127. This toilet flushes directly onto the track. Nice.
It was a very comfortable train, noly beaten in comfort by a 158 with original seats. Guard got caught out though at St.Erth. He was still selling a ticket as we got in. Driver did the doors in the end as he took ages to find his key to let him in the vestibule, activate the panel, open the panel and open the doors.

Not uncommon (though usually labelled "do not flush the toilet while the train is standing in the station").  Looks like 150127 or friend has been to Bradford-on-Avon, and not just in the last day or two judging by the mess on the track there.

I know that a label like that is common because they all flush on the track but one that graphic.
