Misleading GWR schedule

[Train Maniac]

Hey guys
So im on the 19:18 out of Exeter headed for Paddington

My ticket says arrival time is 21:29, however the corresponding service on RTT (code: IA96) now says arrival time is 21:40, which rather puts a spanner in the works for my onward travel home. I see it has been put in as VAR, so has something changed?

Looks like 1A96 is due in at the same time next Saturday - and it's down as WTT - as in, the usual scheduled time:

The PDF timetable on the GWR website shows the arrival time as 21.41

I disagree. See attached below.



Its more a matter of principle at this point, the Bakerloo line is also closed this evening so i would have missed my connection anyway :/

There seems to be some confusion. Today is Saturday 27 April - but the ticket screenshot is for 26 April, which was yesterday. The 19:17 from Exeter St. David's to Paddington was indeed scheduled to arrive at Paddington at 21:29.

Today is 27th April. Travelling with an invalid ticket I hope you haven't encountered worse problems than a 12-min delay.
Seriously, please tell us

That ticket is dated for yesterday?

On weekdays arrival is scheduled for 2129, on Saturdays it's later at 2141.

Well that was an unpleasant surprise...
Lesson learnt. Now resolved.

Thanks for pointing that out.
