Timetable

A full day timetable for 2020 is included, and as such services are reduced due to the pandemic. The standard service pattern is as follows:

Exeter Services

Great Western Railway Paignton Exmouth 2
St James Park Barnstaple 1
London Paddington Cornwall 1
Bristol Temple Meads / Cardiff Central 1
South Western Railway London Waterloo Exeter St Davids 1
CrossCountry Bristol Temple Meads / Derby / York / Edinburgh Paington / Plymouth 1

Trains operating to "Cornwall" terminate at a variety of destinations throughout the day, including Penzance and Plymouth (despite not technically being in Cornwall).

Additionally, the 1tp2h service to Okehampton has been included (although this only operated on Sundays at the time).
