Although they end on Saturday 13th December, it might be hard to find them in last 2-3 weeks, as can't rule out 175s or IET substituting.
True, although I expect there to be quite a fanfare in the last couple of weeks, so plenty of ‘gen’ will be available.

It is also worth noting engineering work is closing line Truro-Penzance 1-5 December. I am not sure if a Plymouth-Truro service would get a castle HST or just be an IET so it can integrate with services to London.

I think I've located another Castle working:

I found this video a few months ago on the channel of a Nigerian property agent claiming that the new service would promote economic growth in Lagos:

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.

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

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
