Over fourteen hours since the great fire took hold at St Erth

A visit to St Erth Station this morning saw the fire brigade still fighting the fire with a overhead platform in operation together with many other appliances. The tyre recycling centre contained a large amount inflammable materials which added combustion to this fire.
All train services have been suspended and replaced by buses at least until 14.00hrs. Consult realtime trains advanced for updated informatiom
