Good idea:
But:
It would have to come from Westbury - most trains from the WoE are too busy to go that route as it would generally require them to run it fast from Melksham - reading which I can't see them doing. Perhaps if (like Frome) there was a morning and evening service that called
Potential Taunton start
Castle Cary (?)
Bruton(?)
Frome
Westbury
Trowbridge
Melksham
Chippenham (replacing path of the 0640 from Bristol allowing the 0710 to run again as BPW» needs the extra train)
Swindon
Didcot Parkway
Reading
Slough (if timings allowed)
London
Same applies on the return these both reducing the need for a unit in the morning/evening and perhaps a unit around 12-1400

From the FGW▸ website :
14:24 Gunnislake to Newton Abbot due 15:53
This train will be terminated at Plymouth.It will no longer call at: Ivybridge, Totnes and Newton Abbot.This is due to a member of train crew being unavailable.
15:56 Newton Abbot to Plymouth due 16:39
This train has been cancelled.This is due to a member of train crew being unavailable.

17:35 Penzance to London Paddington due 23:36
This train has been revised.It will additionally call at: Lostwithiel, St Germans, Saltash and Ivybridge.
From the FGW▸ website, due to the earlier unit being cancelled, bet they'll be stopping a few London's at Ivybridge now!

It was also put to stop at Salisbury, but that was obviously an error.

From the FGW▸ website (29/12/2007) :
06:04 Penzance to Barnstaple due 10:20
This train will be terminated at Plymouth and restarted from Exeter St Davids.It will no longer call at: Ivybridge, Totnes and Newton Abbot.This is due to a member of train crew being unavailable.
Were any extra stops in other services made, because if not, Ivybridge passengers faced a 3-hour wait for the next train......

From the FGW▸ website :
10:23 Gunnislake to Exeter St Davids due 12:34
This train will be terminated at Plymouth.It will no longer call at: Ivybridge, Totnes, Newton Abbot, Teignmouth, Dawlish, Dawlish Warren, Starcross, Exeter St Thomas and Exeter St Davids.This is due to a train fault.
That leaves nearly a 5 and a half hour gap in trains towards Newton Abbot for Ivybridge passengers.

I would have thought that FGW▸ would have stopped an HST▸ /another service to fill the gap.
That's what Central Trains/London Midland would have done!
