The Town Council have been advised of Great Western Railway track renewal works which will affect services as follows:

Network Rail will be undertaking some track renewal work between Monday 1 December and Friday 5 December which will affect train services between Truro and Penzance, plus trains between St Erth and St Ives.

Replacement buses are planned between Truro and Penzance and valid rail tickets will be accepted for travel between Penzance or St Erth and St Ives via Carbis Bay on the number 17/17A buses instead.

Please note the number 17/17A buses do not stop immediately outside Lelant Saltings, Lelant or Carbis Bay railway stations so please follow signs for directions.

GWR trains will operate between Truro and Exeter St Davids or London Paddington via Plymouth, plus services between Truro and Falmouth Docks. CrossCountry trains will only operate between Plymouth and the North of England via Birmingham New Street.

All changes have been uploaded into online journey planners and GWR are also making customers aware at stations and on board through announcements, station posters, and both traditional and social media.
