Looe 1st
(1879 - 1968)

The Liskeard and Looe Railway was opened on December 27 1860 to carry goods traffic to Bullers Quay in East Looe Looe station was unusual for a terminus, in that there was just a single platform and track, with no loop for the locomotive to run round to the back of the train for the return journey

The sidings beyond the station were taken out of use in November 1963 and the line cut back by 110 yards in April 1968 and the police station now stands where the railway station building and most of the platform once was

All trains run to Liskeard along the "Looe Valley Line". In the May 2016 timetable, there were 12 departures on weekdays and winter Saturdays, 13 on summer Saturdays and 7 on summer Sundays. There is no Sunday service in the winter. Some services run to Liskeard without an advertised stop at any of the intermediate stations
