The 05:41 was started from Plymouth. The 09:00 was indeed cancelled. The 10:00 took a lot of the strain and was reported full and standing. The 802 unit failure I assume refers to the 07:30 ex Paddington. As reported elsewhere it was replaced by two 800s which are not cleared over the Devon banks so was swapped for an HST at Bristol. Whether this was down to a failure, staff shortage or lack of traction knowledge I don’t know.

This morning’s 09:00 ex Penzance due to start from St Erth instead.
