08:15 Penzance to London Paddington due 13:29
08:15 Penzance to London Paddington due 13:29 will be started from Plymouth.
It will no longer call at Penzance, St Erth, Camborne, Redruth, Truro, St Austell, Par, Bodmin Parkway and Liskeard.
This is due to a derailment within the depot.

Not sure what that means.
The only cancellation is the 08h15, all other departures from the depot and Penzance seem to have run on time.
Assuming this one derailed but it didn't affect any other lines.

It was a Class 08 pilot shunter and a seating carriage from the sleeper - this one to be precise:  https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Long_Rock_Sidings_-_GWR_Mark_3_TSO_12100.JPG
