Next Sunday 9th December 2012 all down trains will terminate and reverse at Truro. It is understood that this is to facilitate the removal of the cross-over at Roskear. The point levers for this crossing have long been removed from the box and onto a ground frame established just yards from the box.
Checking the mileage involved there will now be an extremely long section of 21 miles between Truro and St Erth without any cross overs. Whilst points are expensive items to replace it would seem very short sighted to remove this cross over, only time will tell.
