Hoping some informed members can help....

Son and I are off to the West Country (based in Exeter) for the week - and his request is to ride one of the remaining Castle Class 'units'.
Are they still diagrammed or have the 175's taken over now ?

I've searched GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) timetable, RTT» (Real Time Trains - website) and on this site and cannot find any list (or mention) of the diagrams being worked (if any).

Many thanks in advance

The 11.28 Exeter to Penzance is booked for them today according to RTT» (Real Time Trains - website)

https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:P08887/2025-05-27/detailed#allox_id=0

Your best bet is to enter Pnz in RTT and go through each service to/from Plymouth or Exeter

They are listed on this website http://www.railtourinfo.co.uk/locohauled.html

But they don't appear to have been updated for the May 2025 timetable change, if there were any.
