Between Liskeard and Looe
Description
There is a shortage of train crew available to operate between Liskeard and Looe. As a result, trains running between these stations will be cancelled and replaced by minibuses.
This is expected until 14:15.
Customer advice:
Limited train crew are available in some Cornish regions today, and so the decision has been taken to suspend the Liskeard to Looe service.
A minibus, provided by Dartline Coaches, will be operating along the route, and will depart Liskeard and Looe as close as possible to train departure times.
