Between Liskeard and Looe
Description
A shortage of train crew between Liskeard and Looe means that the line is closed. As a result, no trains will run between these stations.
Disruption is expected until the end of the day.
Customer advice:
Taxis will run between Liskeard and Looe via Sandplace (operated by Yeo's Taxis and Taxis Services Plymouth) all day, and will pick up at the front of each station.
Before getting in a taxi, please check with the driver that they are working on behalf of Great Western Railway, and the driver should not ask for payment.
The replacement road transport may run later than the advertised train times due to to the additional time taken by road between stations, and the time required for loading and unloading at each stop.
