how many ATW▸ (Arriva Trains Wales (former Train Operating Company)) units have been transferred to FGW▸ (First Great Western)? I notice a lot of the ATW routes that used to use 150s now use 143's e.g. swanline. Ive even seen some 175's on the swanline service and they are usually reserved for long distance routes e.g Carmarthen to Manchester.

Also it was weird in Cardiff today with no services to Portsmouth Hbr and Taunton running due to engineering work, and the Manchester service terminating at Newport. 

At one point the screen on Platform 2 had no trains due to arrive/depart at all with most of them departing from Platform 1!
