On Sunday Monday and Tuesday the Sleeper leaves Plymouth at 00:05 (Monday Morning)

Correct on Sunday (00:05 Monday) but then should be
                 Monday (00:05 Monday) should be Tuesday
                Tuesday (00:05 Monday) should be Wednesday

D'oh <slaps head>  Embarrassed

How did I (resident pedant) miss that?

Could it be that FGW▸ (First Great Western) are cramming three nights worth of passengers onto the Sunday up sleeper with those wishing to arrive into London on Tues or Weds morning being given 2/3 nights accommodation on the sleeper shuttling back and forth, or in the delightful surroundings of Old Oak Common?  Tongue Wink Grin

All I've spotted thus far is that page numbers 7, 8 and 9 appear twice.
