St Columb Road formerly Halloon
(1876 - )
St Columb Road railway station serves the village of St Columb Road in Cornwall, where the station is situated on the Atlantic Coast Line
A passenger service was introduced on June 20 1876 and the station was originally known as "Halloon" but was renamed "St Columb Road" on November 1 1878
The passing loop was extended in 1933 to accommodate the long holiday trains that were then handled on the branch, but it was taken out of use on January 3 1965 when the goods yard was closed
Trains on the Par to Newquay branch line stop at St Columb Road on request - this means that passengers alighting here must tell the conductor that they wish to do so, and those waiting to join must signal clearly
to the driver as the train approaches
On peak summer Saturdays there is no service as the line is worked to capacity by long-distance trains bringing holidaymakers to Newquay
