Having re-opened this morning having been closed for engineering work the Newquay branch is again closed this evening due to a 'lineside fire'. Last trip over the branch cancelled due to a fire in the old lime kiln adjacent to St.Blazey Bridge Crossing. Current estimate is for the line to remain closed until 18:00 Friday while the fire brigade 'cool down' some gas cylinders. The old limekiln is some sort of builders yard now. The main A390 through St.Blazey is also currently closed.

bet all of the two passengers on the NQY▸ (Newquay (Station)) were relieved to have a bus that actually takes less time than the train!
