Night Riviera Sleeper "Removed from Timetable" on 9th April 2024

[DaventryRabbit]

Myself and a Collegue very recently booked on said Sleeper on this particular night. He has just recieved information that it has been "Removed from the Timetable" (Translation: Cancelled).
He booked via Trainline and will try to get a refund. We are both now having to rebook on Late Evening Trains Paddington to Plymouth and Spend an extra Night there.
Can anyone shed any light on this? Its still showing on Real Train Times and there dosen't seem to be any obvious Engineering Blockade that we can see.
Thanks in advance Folks

We know there are engineering works up to end of March but not even we have been told about anything in April... yet .

Oddly the main passenger schedule is cancelled (hence the cancellation notification) but there's still an unadvertised schedule in there...

Might be worth just holding on and seeing what comes out in the wash unless someone else has more information.

We have now booked on the Penultimate Train ex Padd to Plymouth on that night and added an extra night stay in Plymouth.
The Refund is in process despite his scepticism that he would be granted one...
