Because of engineering work between Exeter and Plymouth passengers travelling to or from Plymouth from mid January to the end of March are warned to check journey times before travelling. 

At weekends the line between Exeter St David^s and Plymouth will be closed for engineering work as follows:

All day Saturday on January 17th, 24th and 31st
All day Sunday every weekend from January 18th until March 21st.

I have a question about this. The above mentions Sundays up til March 21st. But the 21st is a Saturday,which is the day I will be travelling back from St Austell to London,so are the trains going to be affected on this day? It mentions Saturdays,but only up to Jan 31st. Was the above copied and pasted from somewhere,or was that a typo by the poster?
My travel plan is as follows.:
Sunday 15th March - Night Riviera from Paddington to St Austell (arr Monday 16th morning) Will this train be affected?
Sat 21st March travel back to London(not sure which exact train yet,around 9am)

We will have 2 or 3 suitcases with us,and we don't really want to have to lug them onto a bus then back on the train again. I couldn't seem to find this info on the FGW▸ (First Great Western) website,and the ticket booking system does not go that far ahead for me to do a sample journey.
