Are Castle Class diagrams still available ?
Posted by lbraine at 07:08, 27th May 2025
 
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 timetable, RTT 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

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.
