Train operators affected

Route(s) affected

Between Liskeard and Looe, between London Paddington / Cardiff Central / Bristol Temple Meads / Exeter St Davids / Plymouth and Penzance

Description

A fault with the signalling system between Liskeard and Looe means the line is closed between these stations. As a result, trains are suspended between these stations.

Trains between Liskeard and Penzance may also be delayed by up to 20 minutes or cancelled following a shortage of signalling staff earlier today.

We expect disruption to continue until 12:00.

Alternative travel advice:

Limited mini buses will be running between Liskeard and Looe in place of the suspended train service. These will operate as close to train running times as possible with some unavoidable delays. The replacement road transport will run via all stations between Liskeard and Looe.

Alternatively, you may use Go Cornwall Bus route 73: Liskeard (Station), St Keyne (Community Centre), Sandplace (Station), Looe (Station)

Compensation:
