Title: Lightning strike at St Austell - 9 September 2011 Post by: LiskeardRich on September 09, 2011, 17:47:42 Quote Line problem between Truro and Par. Train services are being disrupted due to lightning having damaged equipment between Truro and Par.Engineers are working as fast as possible to restore services to normal. Short notice alterations and delays of up to 45 minutes can be expected. The lightening struck the line right where it runs along side Penrice School, in St Austell. My mum is a teacher at Penrice, and saw it strike the line!
