Newquay
(1876 - )
Newquay railway station serves the town and seaside resort of Newquay in Cornwall as the terminus of the Atlantic Coast Line that operates from Par and the station opened on June 20 1876
During summer weekends only, long-distance services operate to destinations such as Dundee and Manchester Piccadilly. On summer weekends, there are fewer local services due to the express services
The original station had just a single platform and a turntable at the end of the platform was used to release locomotives from incoming trains. The station was rebuilt in 1905 with two platforms serving three tracks
The main departure platform was lengthened in 1928 and again in 1935; the second platform was lengthened in 1938. These enlargements were to accommodate the longer trains that were now bringing holidaymakers from London and elsewhere
The station started to be run down following the closure of the line to Truro on February 4 1963 and the remaining platform was resurfaced in early 2012 and the former station canopies were replaced
The station has a staffed ticket office which is open from mid May until early September, however it does not have a ticket vending machine so when the ticket office is closed, passengers have to purchase their tickets on-board the train. Seating is available under the station canopy and on the platform, also in the platform shelter and refreshments are available on the station concourse
