Customer advice:

Rail replacement coaches will operate between St Austell and Newquay. These will operate to mirror the train service but may suffer from delay due to additional running time on road vice rail.

You may use your ticket, at no extra cost on Transport for Cornwall routes 21 and 21A between St Austell (Station), St Columb Road (Co-op), Quintrell Downs (Quintrell Close) and Newquay (Bus Station).

You will be able to use any tickets from 8 January at no additional cost on Great Western Railway services up to and including today, Sunday 11 January. Alternatively, if you are unable to travel, you can claim a free refund for your tickets.

Additional information:

Storm Goretti hit the UK which brought strong winds to South West England. This has damaged signalling systems and resulted in a number of fallen trees.
