ALL Crosscountry services suspended [removed from timetable] due to a power failure at their control centre.

Several additional calls at Tiverton Parkway by GWR to cover.

09:14 Plymouth to London Paddington due 12:27

09:14 Plymouth to London Paddington due 12:27 will call additionally at Tiverton Parkway.
This is due to the train making extra stops because of service disruption.
