My thanks to Andrew Pennington for the following info on the aspired enhanced frequency and pattern :

Quote from: Andrew Pennington, FGW Head of Train Planning
The core "standard hour" elements are:

1/2 hourly service
 
branch resourced by 2 x 153 vice 1 x 150
 
trains cross with loop provided at Penryn

alternate trains do not call Perranwell due to pathing to make 1/2 hourly core branch service work

Similar to St Ives skipping Carbis Bay on alternative runs then.

Perranwell is very lightly used so no big deal skipping it every hour, even hourly service is an improvement on the current service so Perranwell won't be any worse off.
