Hi

I don't know if this topic has been mention before.
Could there be a service started from Plymouth or Exeter which went to London Paddington via Bristol.

There are already a few.

I caught the (07:30) London to Penzance from Swindon (08:27) to Exeter this morning .  There is also a 10:00 and a 21:45 to Exeter via Bristol.  From Exter there is the 01:00, the 06:12, 10:56 and th 20:44.  Not sure where they start.

the 01:00 from exeter is most likely the sleeper and doesnt really have a fixed route from Taunton it can go via Westbury or Bristol to Swindon/Reading.

I have never been on it via Bristol has anyone here? the only time i did it it went via Westbury & Melksham to Swindon before proceding to Reading.

I've often been on the Sleeper and gone via Bristol TM(resolve), I've know passengers to board at Bristol rather than wait till the 04.xx train.
But then it doesn't always go via Bristol, it has a wide range of variations of route between Taunton & Reading., even more on a Sunday night between Exeter St D & Reading.

The 06:12 starts at Plymouth 05:10 and the 1056/2044 both start at Penzance.
