Title: Fire at Falmouth Town Post by: marky7890 on March 04, 2010, 13:36:32 Hi,
Apparently services on the Falmouth branch are being disrupted because of a fire at Falmouth Town station. Does anyone know how this started, or how big it is? Mark Title: Re: Fire at Falmouth Town Post by: RailCornwall on March 04, 2010, 14:28:59 from Packet Newspapers....
First Great Western First Great Western at Falmouth Town Last updated 27 minutes ago Normal service resumed on First Great Western between Truro and Falmouth Docks following earlier fire alert at Falmouth Town.

Title: Re: Fire at Falmouth Town Post by: Nemesis on May 20, 2010, 09:25:00 I have been away for ages and am now catching up. I was on the train when the 'fire' was discovered. I later heard the driver tell the guard that it was caused by a tramp's sleeping bag being set alight. Word has it that a local vagrant was sleeping under the Falmouth Town platform, (which does not have a solid base). When he left his 'home,'person or persons unknown torched his bed.
