Here are the current and planned diagrams for IET (Intercity Express Train) services until January 2018. I'll update (or anyone else with confirmed diagrams - not hearsay/speculation) when it's confirmed more sets are going into service.

Monday - Friday
From 16th October 2017 (2x 10 car sets in service):

1A03 06:00 Bristol TM(resolve) - Paddington 07:44
1B12 08:15 Paddington - Cardiff Central 10:22
1L51 10:55 Cardiff Central - Paddington 13:00
1B40 13:45 Paddington - Swansea 16:44
1L90 17:28 Swansea - Paddington 20:37

1C03 07:00 Paddington - Bristol TM 08:45
1A10 09:30 Bristol TM - Paddington 11:16
1B13 11:45 Paddington - Swansea 14:43
1L24 15:28 Swansea - Paddington 18:32
1C27 19:00 Paddington -  Bristol TM 20:45

From 13th November 2017 (4x 10 car sets in service)

As above, plus:
1A04 06:33 Bristol TM - Paddington 08:14
1B15 08:45 Paddington - Swansea 11:43
1L62 12:28 Swansea - Paddington 15:33
1C24 17:30 Paddington - Taunton* 2023
1A37 21:27 Taunton - Paddington^† 00:34

1B05 06:45 Paddington - Swansea 09:47
1L52 10:28 Swansea - Paddington 13:33
1B42 14:15 Paddington - Cardiff C 16:23
1L82 16:55 Cardiff C - Paddington 19:02
1C28 19:30 Paddington - Weston SM* 21:48

From 11th December (6x 10 car sets in service)

As above, plus:
2Y03 06:03 Bristol TM - Weston SM* 06:34
1A07 06:48 Weston SM - Paddington^ 0912
1B20 09:45 Paddington - Swansea 12:42
1L66 13:28 Swansea - Paddington 16:32
1B63 17:15 Paddington - Carmarthen× 21:20

1L32 06:58 Swansea - Paddington 09:57
1C10 10:30 Paddington - Bristol TM 12:13
1A18 13:00 Bristol TM - Paddington 14:38
1C20 15:30 Paddington - Weston SM* 17:50
1A29 18:09 Weston SM - Paddington^ 2014
1C31 20:45 Paddington -  Bristol TM 22:28

Notes:
*Service splits at Bristol TM, 5 car forward to Weston SM/Taunton
^5 car from Taunton/Weston SM, 10 car from Bristol TM
×Service splits at Swansea, 5 car forward to Carmarthen
Because of engineering works, during the first two weeks of operation, the 2127 from Taunton will reverse at Chippenham and then run non stop via Melksham and Pewsey to Reading 0023, arriving Paddington 0102.

I've not included weekend services as the information out there is currently contradictory. Staff info disagrees with RealTime Trains. RTT» (Real Time Trains - website) disagrees with booking engines. Saturday and Sunday services are due to start on 28/29th October with 2x 10 car sets in service. Increasing to 4x 10 car sets on 18/19th November.



All correct to the best of my knowledge. E&OE.

1A37 I believe starts from Taunton at 21:27 (having done the front half of 1C24) and joins up at Bristol with the rear part of 1C28, which having split at Bristol does a little detour via Bedminster

Therefore 5 car Taunton to Bristol, then 10 car through to Paddington

I've fixed the departure time typo and amended the footnotes. Also including information about 1A37 being affected by engineering works.

The 1530 from PAD» (Paddington (London) - next trains) to Weston will be the first test of whether dividing at BRI» (Bristol Temple Meads - next trains) will provide sufficient capacity onwards. The 1715 from BRI hoovers up a large volume of commuters currently.

Tomorrow, Saturday 28th October, was pencilled in as the first weekend running of IETs (Intercity Express Train) in passenger service.

Chatter across social media suggests there will be no weekend diagrams until 11th November. There's just to much engineering work disruption at the moment.

I'm hearing strong rumours the IETs (Intercity Express Train) will be out to play this weekend for their first Saturday and Sunday diagrams.

Looking at RealTime Trains there are scheduled movements from North Pole IEP (Intercity Express Program / Project.) depot into Paddington on Saturday morning for passenger departures at 0657 and 0748 to Bristol TM(resolve). The earlier of these is shadowed by a HST (High Speed Train) from Old Oak Common. The latter may also be shadowed.

Overdue.  As long ago as SUNDAY 22nd October, there was a sign on display at Swindon Station saying "Our brand new Intercity Express Trains are departing from this station today".

Colouring text green makes it look like a hyperlink on site style '2'.

I was tapping away thinking I'd be taken somewhere interesting.  Grin

But as you've pointed out that wasn't a live link - not on that Sunday.

A couple of booked moves out of North Pole IEP (Intercity Express Program / Project.) depot for tomorrow morning, Sunday 19th November, that link into passenger departures From Paddington to Bristol TM(resolve) at 0900 and Paddington to Weston-super-Mare at 1000. With full day's diagrams likely.

Strong likelihood that these will be the first Sunday IET (Intercity Express Train) services, but not confirmed.
