Mainly 175s, although some diagrams are worked by 158s.

mostly 158 175 but if very unlucky you could end up with a 150 or even a pair of 153s they do run this route sometimes. more often than not you`ll get either a 158 or a 175.

Well guess it depends on your favourite traction, after all its only 20 minutes. Makes you wonder why the 175s end up on this route, sure they would be more appreciated on the 3 hours routes (e.g. Pwllheli-Brum) than perhaps a 158 but I don't think there is much in the way of seating capacity between these two DMUs.
