Disruption between Truro and Penzance expected until 14:30 

Route(s) affected

Between London Paddington / Exeter St Davids / Plymouth and Penzance

Description

Slippery rails in the Redruth area means trains have to run at reduced speed on the line towards Penzance.

As a result, trains running between Truro and Penzance may be delayed by up to 40 minutes, cancelled or revised.

Disruption is expected to continue until 14:30.
