Looks like really good condition track and I notice the absence of signals. Straight track. Minimal station buildings.

Rogart?  Is there a loop there?

Minimal station buildings.

That's because they burned down in September 2000!

Extra clue: it's approximately the same longitude as Redruth.

Frankly , I dont know the answer , but I do know that it isnt Dawlish Warren , whose "down" building was destroyed by fire in 1924 , and "up" building suffered the same fate in 2003.

Lelant overlooks the coast IIRC

It might be somewhere on the Looe branch?

Otherwise another welsh one...
