Your train may be delayed. Check your journey.
Last updated: 21:02
Due to flooding between Liskeard and Looe the line is closed.
Impact:
Train services running to and from these stations have been suspended. Disruption is expected until the end of the day on 10/01/26.
Customer Advice:

What has happened?
-
Heavy rainfall during December combined with high tides resulted in the water levels at several bridges along the branch line being above the level which allows us to safely run trains.
-
What are we doing about it?
-
The water levels have now dropped and Network Rail have been able to inspect the bridges, it has been found that repairs to the infrastructure are required before we are able to run trains again.
The line is not going to re-open this week, replacement transport has been requested to run until Saturday 10 January. When we get an update about possible reopening, details will be given here.
