UK Rail Disruptions & Other Info

  • Dec 23 to Jan 4
    Flooding suspends services between Liskeard and Looe

    Period:Tuesday, December 23, 2025 to Sunday, January 4, 2026
    Operators:Great Western Railway
    Related Information:Flooding of the railway line between Liskeard and Looe means that all lines are closed. As a result of this, trains running between these stations will be cancelled. Disruption is expected until the end of the day on Sunday 4 January. Please note there is no service on Thursday 25 December, Sunday 28 December, and also Sunday 4 January. Customer advice: Rail replacement transport, provided by A2B minibus, will depart Liskeard and Looe at train times and call at Sandplace in both directions. Please wait for the minibus at the rail replacement bus stops. The replacement road transport may run later than the advertised train times owing to the additional time taken by road between stations and the time required for loading and unloading at each stop. If you are travelling from Coombe Junction Halt, St Keyne Wishing Well Halt or Causeland please use the customer help point or contact National Rail Enquiries on 03457 484 950 detailing the total number of passengers in your party and your intended destination. You may use your ticket, at no extra cost, on Go Cornwall Bus route 73 between Liskeard (bus stops on the main road adjacent to the station entrance), St Keyne (community centre), Sandplace (station) and Looe (bus stops on main road opposite the station). Additional information: Great Western Railway are working with Network Rail to be able to re-open the line. The water levels have now receded and Network Rail will be arranging for the bridges to be inspected. Some of the inspections require the use of divers, so that the parts of the bridge below the water level can be inspected. At the moment the water is running too fast for divers to be deployed and there are no divers available until the 4 Jan 2026. Check before you travel: You can check your journey today and up to and including Saturday 27 December using the National Rail Enquiries real-time Journey Planner. For journeys from Monday 29 December, please check back at a later date. For helpful advice if you need to travel on a rail replacement service, including accessibility and bicycle information, please use our Rail Replacement Services page. You can find the pick-up and set-down location of rail replacement services by checking station signage or by searching for your station on our Find a Station page. Please be advised that replacement vehicles may be busier than usual, and you should allow extra time for your journey.
