For the May - December 2008 timetable rather than the current one, see http://www.southwesternlines.co.uk/fgw-diagrams .  But I don't know of the current ones anywhere

I am trying to work out the diagrams in Cornwall, from platform numbers at plymouth (from the national rail website) and time timetables. However i have 2 services left:

12:55 Plymouth - Gunnislake 13:40 (and the return service)
and
17:55 Plymouth - Penzance 19:51

These 2 i cant find where they start, are they possibly from a train which has split at plymouth?

not sure about as far in advance as a few weeks but for exam planning the diagrammes are as such that they know several days working should everything go to plan,but if there are failiures and set swaps this will change.
