Misleading GWR schedule

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:

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 :)

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

Thanks for pointing that out.
