No they don't - there are direct trains from Newcastle to both Southampton and Exeter routed via Birmingham - though you'd have to force me at gunpoint to use them.
Colleagues made the 6 hour plus journey to Exeter the other week, then a couple of days later spent 45 minutes returning EXT-NCL :-).
I enjoyed the comment about the improving railway infrastructure - that was funny
