The Saturday equivalent of the 5:30 was 25 late so it isn't a Monday-Friday thing. What stock is it formed of as that might have something to do with it, if it's overcrowded?

An overcrowded train won't cause a 25 minute delay at St Germans, unless the whole population of the town/village tried to get on.

If it gets very overcrowded at Bristol the delay will gradually increase.

It went from 16 late at Saltash to 25 late at St Germans, not too sure that overcrowding would be chronic at St Germans.

No. But I was just saying if a train is very busy early on in the journey it will cause delays later but this waht not the case here.
