Customer Advice
-
What has happened?
-
The line has flooded at Marazion, between St Erth and Penzance.
-
What are we doing about it?
-
Network Rail are monitoring the water level. Trains from Plymouth towards Penzance may terminate short at Par, Truro or St Erth and will start back from those locations. Local bus operators are being contacted and rail replacement transport requested, more information to follow.

Was it a few days ago it flooded there and caused many local headaches?
Never noticed it flooding there before, so what has changed recently I wonder.

Also wondering if my assumption is right, in that there is only one crossover on the main line between Truro and St Erth?
Very poor in view of the Marazion flooding incident(s).

Actually none between them for about 20 miles, except the crossovers at Truro and St Erth. (see pages 118-122 on link)
