1. I think this might be the weekday morning service Up the B&H▸ (Berks and Hants - railway line from Reading to Taunton via Westbury) from Westbury to London Paddington - 06:47 engine and coaches from Westbury to Paddington, some Bedwyn to Newbury shuttles (arrival and departure times shown for Newbury), Newbury to Reading shuttles and probably another engine and coaches on the 07:06 Newbury to Paddington.

Oh for a time machine….

I think 3 might be from Hereford, and Moreton-in-Marsh and Stratford-upon-Avon, into Paddington.

I also think 3 is Hereford, Worcester, Oxford & London but not sure about Stratford. If we are right about the line just look at the timings of the 0704 from Hereford, the 0750 from Worcester Shrub Hill. 1 hour 46 mins from there to Paddington and with a seven minute stop at Moreton!!!!

You are correct that Hereford is correct and also correct that Stratford is incorrect.

Aylesbury to Marylebone is correct but it's not Oxford in the same table.

B&H▸ (Berks and Hants - railway line from Reading to Taunton via Westbury) and West Wales - both correct

The other route beyond Didcot in 3 will be Cheltenham via Gloucester and Swindon. And the alternative line beyond Princes Risborough comes via Bicester from Banbury.

Correct on both counts.
