The trains that I am seeing have all changed to STPs. Does this mean they will have more coaches?

As it's FA Cup Semi-Final weekend at Wembley, there will be additional calls (and additional trains) at Wembley Stadium all weekend, with Aylesbury via Amersham services reduced to 1tph during the afternoon and buses replacing trains between Aylesbury and Aylesbury Vale Parkway.
With Wolverhampton playing on Sunday, West Midlands services will have more coaches and buses will be replacing trains between Banbury/Leamington Spa and Stratford-upon-Avon as well.

What does STP stand for please?

Presume in this context they are referring to diagrams, so:
LTP: Long Term Plan - the base diagrams that include the services which form the Working Time Table, usually valid for a set period of time e.g 3-4 months
STP: Short Term Plan - amendments to the LTP, usually issued on a shorter time scale i.e weekly, could be due to extra services, engineering possessions, change of traction etc etc
VSTP: Very Short Term Plan - Moves planned on the day or within a very short notice period, e.g moving a failed unit/loco back to a maintenance depot.
LTP/STP will come from the Train Planning Unit, VSTP will more than likely be submitted by the relevant Control.
