The "Mid-day Scot" might have a clue, in it's title, as to it's departure time.

The Atlantic Coast Express -
London Waterloo - Bude, Padstow.

Not sure if it went anywhere else. I know that these would split at Halwill Junction. In summer from what I understand it would run as two separate trains from Waterloo.

Not sure of the stops before Exeter, but would then stop Exeter Central, Exeter St Davids, Halwill Junction (Portions Split), Holsworthy, Bude. As I said before, not sure where the Padstow portion stopped after this
