One sensible alteration is 1C91 no longer goes to Paignton but straight to Plymouth then stable. It used to return passenger Paignton - Newton Abbott then empty to Laira.

1C92 to Penzance still overtakes it but at Dawlish Warren and not Exeter St Davids.

Timetable K1... Sleeper now to run nonstop from Newton Abbot to Liskeard??

A couple I have noticed:

- 1C36 (2200 London Paddington - Exeter St. Davids, via. Bristol Temple Meads) now departs slightly later at 2202 and runs slightly later as far as Swindon, then maintains its current timings (to within ½ minute) and calling pattern as far as Exeter St. Davids (arr. 0112 as at present). Thereafter it will, under the new timetable, continue to Plymouth calling at Newton Abbot (0132) but heading non-stop through Totnes to arrive into Plymouth at 0209.

- 1A70 (0451 Plymouth - London Paddington, via. Westbury, arr. 0834) is an additional working.

- 1K01 (0454 Westbury - London Paddington, via. Newbury, arr. 0638) is an additional working.

Just looked on RealTimeTrains. Night Riviera 1C50 (2345 Paddington - Penzance) shows as calling at Plymouth (0511).

1A70 is the reinstatement of a pe-covid working that ran between Exeter and Paddington, now starting back from Plymouth.

Another apparently "new" service is a 22.22 PAD to 00.14 WSB service. This is a semi-fast to Bedwyn continuing to WSB. This is likely to be an IET returning to Stoke Gifford but may be a useful later service for some. It is not that slow either taking 1h 52m.

It is however shadowed by the 22.32 PAD service, changing at BTH. This service takes 2h overall to WSB.
