So technically its one extra service  Grin The 09:05 Paddington to Plymouth is extended to Newquay, and the 17:00 Plymouth to paddington starts Newquay at 15:04, this replaces the 14:50 ex NQY▸ (Newquay (Station)) unit departure which is usefully retimed to 17:35. A very good move I think!! Beware, its Run to the Sun weekend!!

No comment!

However I see the 14:03 PAR to NQY▸ (Newquay (Station)) was held for over 10 mins today to connect with the 10:05 ex PAD» (Paddington (London) - next trains), a good move as there was a large amount of passengers for it!!
