06:00 Penzance to Cardiff Central due 12:18 This train has been delayed at Penzance by 32 minutes and has been further delayed at Camborne and is now 41 minutes late.

This train will no longer call at St Budeaux Ferry Road, Keyham and Devonport.
This is due to a train fault.

Customers for St Budeaux Ferry Road, Keyham, Dockyard and Devonport should circulate via Plymouth and join the 08:40 Plymouth to Gunnislake service.

And then WALK from St Budeaux Victoria Road?   Grin

..and also hope they held the 08:40 - as if the train for Penzance was running 41 mins late and didnt catch up any time it would not arrive at Plymouth until 08:45!

According to Journey Check, it still called there.  Perhaps this train brings a lot of Cornish workers to the navel facility?

Are belly-button piercings popular in Cornwall, then?

I don't know ... but perhaps there's a great fresh juice shop by Dockyard station

That service is probably the busiest of the day for those three stations. I've seen a couple of people get off at Dockyard, but more at Devonport. Arrived in Plymouth at 08:32 so plenty of time to catch the 08:40.
