Evening all.

Disappointed yet again, but not surprised that the wider South West has little mention in yet another report on the future of rail, and started a hunt for some statistics on Journey times between various key stations nationwide to say London to start with,  perhaps over distance, so i can compare the service disparities between places in the South West, and others in the fabled North.

Does anyone have any pointers please?

I came across something once in a learn-ed paper, history and up to date - but not got all my resources with me at the moment.  Quick look around suggests

and

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/europe/united-kingdom/articles/uk-travel-map-rail-journey-times-isochronic/

I do think - if you are referring to today's report - that it's about inter-country connections for the most part and until Western Peninsular issues a UDI it would not be included.  But, yes, sad to see all the various reports and the South West getting a very, very thin end of the wedge.
