Not quite sure which timetable says that; the GWR timetable K1 says there are at least hourly trains down to Plymouth starting at 8AM from London Paddington on the Great Western Main Line; the last train is usually at 18:03 and there are occasional night trains too. In addition, you can travel on the West of England line from London Waterloo and change at Exeter onto one of the Plymouth-bound trains coming from Leeds or Edinburgh; it won't be as comfortable* but it gives you more options.

* Not everyone will agree with me here but I find the class 800s on the Great Western infinitely preferable to the tatty old Super Voyager sets - the Sprinters are nice though!
