New views of St Erth Station can be seen from the top deck of the T1 service when passing the station. In last weeks local paper it was announced that funding has been secured for the new Transport Hub to be situated at St Erth Station with extra car parks and the enlargement to bring the bus services into the station area together with the enlargement of the station facilities.  During the last few weeks a number of tress have been felled in the facility, is this the start to the scheme! Only time will tell.
