Anyone know why National Rai Enquiries Journey Checker is saying that there is a change of trains at Plymouth at 05:35?

It is quicker to change trains at Plymouth. If you select 'include slower trains', you will see that the sleeper arrives over an hour later (compared to changing at Plymouth) at 8:59.

The change is for XCs Penzance service which gets you to Penzance quicker, though you can stay on the sleeper, it's just you can alight at Plymouth if you wish. The sleeper arrives into Penzance at 08:59


Cheers,

Thanks - I just didn't want to have to get out of bed that early to change trains and hoped it wasn't a hangover of the Liskeard problem earlier in the week.
