Unfortunately, there remains a vocal minority cohort, down here who wouldn't be happy with a daily gold plated pasty, wrapped in a winning lottery ticket. I suspect most of them work for Cornwall Live.
I still miss the free crayons for use in the comments....

This Wednesday is the key Cornwall Council Cabinet meeting where the decision will be taken whether the Council wishes to proceed with the Mid Cornwall Metro project or not. As has been seen in the report of the Scrutiny Committee, if they go ahead, the Council will be the Accountable Body, responsible for picking up any overspends. The papers for the meeting are now online and make for a fascinating read https://democracy.cornwall.gov.uk/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=577&MId=13001&Ver=4 |

Bert Biscoe, who is a great guy, has been calling for this for years. It's not going to happen. |

If a new halt is built on the MCM route, it should be near Trencreek in Newquay, in my opinion. The town is spreading inland quite rapidly and a rail link connecting the newly developed areas across Trenance valley viaduct to the town centre would be far quicker than any car/bus. St Columb Road would make a good park and ride site for traffic off the A30/A39 into Newquay, too.

It looks good, but will they have the stock. 150s might be available from Wales because 2 car trains between Truro/Par and Newquay might not be enough.
Will they make the loop as long as possible so it becomes dynamic and the trains do not have to stop?

We been told TFW to start sending class 150s off lease from August but it will be as units come up for major examples. This will depend though znd how the rollout of the class 756s on the valley lines goes and further introduction of the class 197s |

Is it possible to access platform 3 from the up main line, or can the line to Newquay be accessed from platform 2? It has been a while since I've visited Par station despite having been born in St. Austell. Is it possible to access the down main line from platform 2 or platform 3?

From what I can tell, the Newquay branch (plat 3) connects to the up main (plat 2) and then there is a crossover to the down main

I would agree  The extra crossover being out of shot. |

correct, and at both ends as well. |
