Thanks for that list. I just checked on RTT: the termination at WSM of the 1000 PAD-BRI means that the 1330 BRI-PAD starts back from WSM at 1301.GWR have published a track access application which as well as re-combining services at Maidenhead and splitting Oxford semi-fasts at Didcot covers the extra 06.33 Paddington-Penzance and 12.04 return and the 19.12 Paddington-Bristol becoming SX instead of FO, but doesn't mention the other West of England changes.
These appear to be (ignoring changed intermediate calls) ;-
05.46 Exeter St Davids-Paddington starts from Plymouth at 04.51
05.09 Plymouth-Paddington via Bristol starts Exeter St Davids at 06.28
07.03 from Paddington reverts to Paignton and the 07.30 to Penzance, with neither serving Dawlish or Teignmouth - I would have thought that, and the extra train between Paddington and Taunton over the B&H would require an amendment to the contract or even the franchise agreement. 11.34 Paddington-Exeter replaced by a 10.35 Paddington-Paignton and 12.34 Paddington-Taunton.
10.00 Paddington-Paignton terminating at Bristol to balance a new 12.00 to Paddington, replacing the 07.41 from Penzance-Paddington, which now goes B&H.
10.30 Paddington extended to Weston-s-M.
13.03 Penzance-Paddington starts from Plymouth
14.13 Paignton-Paddington starts at 14.53
14.53 Exeter-Paddington is replaced by a 15.53 from Taunton and a 16.48 from Newbury.
16.02 Plymouth-Paddington starts from Penzance.
17.06 Paddington-Westbury extended to Frome, which oddly has no replacement for the call made by the 14.53 Exeter.
;
Although all the changes are shown from 1st January in OTT and NRT tables circulated, the application shows the extra Penzance to run from the timetable change, and the electrification associated changes from 2nd January (apart from one reference to 3rd!) presumably accounted for by a special service on 1st.
