UK Trains rail disruptions & other info
Jan 4 to Jan 5
Flooding suspends services between Liskeard and Looe
Period:Sunday, January 4 to Monday, January 5
Operators:Great Western Railway
Related Information:The line between Liskeard and Looe has flooded following a period of recent heavy rain.
This heavy rain combined with high tides has meant that the water level at several bridges on the route between these stations has risen above the level that is deemed safe to run trains. As a result of this, the service on the branch line is currently suspended.
Before the line is able to reopen and trains are able to run again, the bridges will need to be inspected by Network Rail and a team of specialist divers to ensure that the flooding has not damaged any of the bridge structures. Until this can be done, trains will be unable to operate.
This is expected to be the case until at least the end of the day on Monday 5 January.
Please note, there is no timetabled service on Sunday 4 January.
Customer advice:
Replacement road transport, in the form of minibuses, will run between Liskeard and Looe. The minibuses will call at St Keyne village (for St Keyne Wishing Well Halt), Duloe village (for Causeland) and Sandplace.
Online journey planners have been updated to include the replacement road transport. Please note it may run later than the advertised train times as a result of the additional time taken by road between stations, and the time needed for loading and unloading at each stop.
The designated stops for the replacement road transport are as follows:
Liskeard - at the front of the station.
St Keyne Wishing Well Halt - opposite the community centre in St Keyne village, an approximate 20 minute journey by foot from the station.
Causeland - at the bus stops in Duloe village by the Community Shop on the B3254, an approximate 30 minute journey by foot from the station.
Sandplace - bus stops by the station entrance.
Looe - at the front of the station.
Additional information:
The current estimate for the bridges to be inspected by a team of specialist divers is during the day on Monday 5 January. However, it remains possible that even once the inspections are carried out, the line may not be safe to reopen.
Further updates will be posted here as soon as any are available.
Check before you travel:
You can check your journey for today only using the National Rail Enquiries real-time Journey Planner. There is no service scheduled to operate on this route on Sunday 4 January.
