Mid Cornwall Metro - APPROVED

How long is the new platform going to be?

The sharp curve to the right will make dispatch far from ideal.

It'll be about 85m and only for the branch trains.

Will the points be further out (to future proof a later extension) or immediately after the platform?

They'll need to be beyond the platform in order to allow trains in and out while a longer train is stabled in the existing platform.

Thanks - I now realise my question was badly-phrased. 

I meant will the points be at the end of the "long"/current platform or further out?

Not sure on that one I'm afraid, although even if it is next to the end of the platform, there's still plenty of room for extension.

One element of the project needs addressing quickly, the absolutely dire state of mobile coverage to/from Par until the trains from/to Newquay get to/from Roche. If this is a serious investment on the route, whoever is planning this needs to talk urgently to the Mobile operators and get this sorted PDQ. A forced break in connection will be most unwelcome.
