Customer Advice
We're sorry for the disruption to your journey this morning.

We have been unable to source any replacement transport to run in place of the train service as local operators have no taxis or coaches available. (First day back for most school/College pupils)

We have also been unable to arrange for your tickets to be accepted on the local buses between Truro and Falmouth, we are still trying to do this. Until then, if you wish to use local buses, please purchase a ticket on the bus, keep it and send it, together with your train ticket, to us to claim for a refund of the bus fare.

Lightning strikes damaged signalling equipment at Penryn yesterday. Network Rail are finishing their work to fix and test this this morning.

I don't understand why no bus acceptance of rail tickets.  This has always come in to force when the branch goes down. Radio shout from control to accept all tickets.
Truronian did have a contract with GWR to be on standby 24x7, but that hasn't come into play it seems.
GoCornwall were wanting the standby contract, but that's another query.
Cornwall Council were trying to integrate rail and bus interchanges, etc.
Puzzled of Penwith

Any clue as to when the line will be open again? Due to go to Falmouth this Saturday.

Could not a basic service be offered without any signaling ? "one engine in steam"

Unlikely if fixing and testing of axle counters is taking place (multiple ones failed AIUI)...

I'm three miles as the crow flies from Penryn, Not surprised at all, Lunchtime yesterday was Armageddon with a 90 minute storm. All hell broke loose on the roads so I'm totally understanding of the Bus and Taxi companies not willing to operate a RR service at all. Extraordinary as there really wasn't much notice and once the storm passed a respectable afternoon for early September followed.

GWR will have phoned FTS to arrange transport or ticket acceptance. FTS will probably phone the Truro office number which won’t have been manned that early in the morning. For out of normal office hours (8-6 ish) they’d likely get a better response from Camborne or summercourt duty control?

So maybe not quite joined up down here as yet!
Camborne I believe doesn't open up until around 5am, possibly the same for Summercourt.
