There are probably lots of timetable anomolies emerging with the start of the new timetable but I think that 3 different times for the same train is rather excessive! 0535 Plymouth - Paddington advertised to dep 0813 in TSO▸ (The Stationary Office (now OPSI), or, possibly Trailer Standard Open (carriage), depending on context) NRT▸ (Network Rail Telecoms), 0813 in Bradshaw NRT but amended to 0810 in footnotes, 0811 in FGW▸ (First Great Western) pocket timetables and 0810 on the departure indicator at Pewsey. Train actually departed today at 0816 so everyone made it in the end! Any other examples like this?

I should have made it clear that the times refer to Pewsey!
