St Ives Bay Line - Definition and Overview |
|
|
The St Ives Bay Line is a railway line from St Erth to St Ives in Cornwall.
The stations on the route are listed below.
The line diverges from the Penzance-London Paddington main line at St Erth. The branch line is single track for its duration, and follows the coast for much of its length, making it one of the most pictureque railways in England. In recent years, due to heavy traffic congestion in St Ives, the railway has been promoted as a park and ride for visitors to the town, with the construction of new facilities at Lelant Saltings, close to the A30 truck road.
Passenger services are currently operated by Wessex Trains. Some trains operate to and from Penzance, and in the summer months when traffic levels are high, most trains are increased in length.
