Hi,
Does anyone know the location of the now closed Probus & Ladock Halt? Im trying to find it using Google Earth, but cant find where it is. I know its somewhere between Grampound Road and Probus.

Thanks,
Mark

This map gives you an indication (link below.)

Thanks, this must be where the current mast is.

A lot depends on how well you know the Cornish mainline, however Probus & Ladock Halt was just West of where the 1985 Single line ended.
The Map posted by Lee Fletcher shows a main Under Road just west of the Station Site. P & L halt never had public Track crossing so access to Up and Down side platforms was from this Road by approx 200 yard access roads.

On a train today leaving Truro on the Up side at L & P just after the Road under bridge is a Phone Mast then 2 relay rooms (might only be one) but the East End Relay room is I think Built on the base of the Up side Platform.

The Brick Base of the Down Side Platform is clearly seen on the other side but I think slightly more towards St Austell. Off note a Cable Troughing has been installed cutting through this base.

According to R. A. Cooke the Halt was officially at 295 miles 47 chains from Paddington (I assume via Bristol) between Grampound Road 193 17 and Truro at 300 63.

Mileage on Cornwall Passenger Lines is from Paddington via Bristol AND Millbay, only odd man out these days is the Looe Line, Station at Looe is opposite milepost 20chain (1/4 mile).
