Track flooding and bridge damage disrupts routes between Liskeard and Looe
Period:Tuesday, January 27 to Sunday, February 1
Operators:Great Western Railway
Related Information:The line between Liskeard and Looe remains closed following a period of recent heavy rain which flooded the track.
The heavy rainfall, combined with high tides, resulted in the water levels at several bridges along the line being above the level which allows for trains to run safely. Investigations took place once the water levels receded and the results of the investigations have confirmed some damage that will require repair work. This will need to be carried out before the line can be reopened and trains are able to run again.
No trains will operate between Liskeard and Looe. Rail replacement transport will run as stated below.
Currently, trains are not expected to run on this route until the start of service on Monday 2 February, at the earliest.
Customer advice:
