Disruption on Weekends in January 2017 is forecast with buses replacing trains between Penzance and Truro on all Saturdays and Sundays in January. It is believed that track relaying will be taking place at Wheal Bois near Redruth. Last Sunday saw a Colas Class 66 off loading rails near the Old Redruth Bypass at Treleigh before departing to Penzance in order to run around its train prior to returning to Westbury.
66201 passes Treleigh on the Royal Train, its 17th May, 2013. Her Majesty was on route to St Ives changing into a 150 Class Sprinter at St Erth. This is the location where we expect to see the engineering work in January, 2017. Copyright Roger Winnen
