08:23 Plymouth to Newquay due 10:10 This train will be terminated at Par.It will no longer call at: Luxulyan, Bugle, Roche, St Columb Road, Quintrell Downs and Newquay.This is due to a train fault. 10:17 Newquay to Par due 11:04 This train has been cancelled.This is due to an earlier train fault.

Had the fault not been rectifiable, they could have used the unit that normally forms Gunnislake/Newton Abbot services from 0934 onwards, inserted HST calls at Ivybridge, and had a dry run for December.
