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.

Please be advised that replacement vehicles may be busier than usual, and you should allow extra time for your journey.

Compensation:

You may be entitled to compensation if you experience a delay in completing your journey today. Please keep your train ticket and make a note of your journey, as both will be required to support any claim.
