It's the 7.45 Carmarthen train I get in the morning, as you say very hit and miss (but always two carriages) as to the quality of the train you get, sometimes miss this if the local train is late and then get the 8.07, this is the Paddington to West Wales train, and is a nice train especially in 1st class.
