12:17 Exeter St Davids to Paddington (via Bristol TM‡(resolve), Swindon, Oxford and Banbury) arriving at 16:22;  then a brisk walk to Waterloo (or Bakerloo if the train is late) for the^.
17:59 Waterloo to Exeter St Davids (via Basingstoke, Salisbury, Warminster, Westbury and Taunton) arriving at 21:22

Presumably you don't want me to tell you that you could also catch the 12:25 to Waterloo (15:49), save yourself the walk across town, and come back on the 17:20 getting you into Exeter at 20:44. Much newer train too  Grin

Having lived in Pinhoe for the best part of sixty years, I've experienced the 'normal' LSWR▸ (London South Western Railway) route behind WC▸ (Wiltshire Council (Unitary Authority))/BB, MN, Warships, Class 33s, Class 50s, 159s and other types and under 'normal operating conditions' would probably choose this over the GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) route, despite it being slower - but this isn't 'normal operating conditions'

I suspect HST▸ (High Speed Train) via Wycombe together with HST out of Waterloo is the attraction :-)

Too right!   Grin

It looks like Pangbourne has 10 full days (3 - 12 April) with no trains.  Is this some kind of record for a busy commuter station?

No ......... London Bridge was closed for 16 Days over Christmas 2014
