GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) Journeycheck has reported there is a landslip on the Newquay to Par line. Doesn't sound too major as only 1 train has been shown cancelled.

19:22 Newquay to Par due 20:11
19:22 Newquay to Par due 20:11 will be cancelled.
This is due to a landslip.

A tree on the side of an embankment came down and left cracks in said embankment.  Nothing too serious though, and after a proper examination the line has opened with a 20mph EROS▸ (Emergency Restriction Of Speed).

Travelled from Par to Newquay today on one of the two car services that are normal on the line, not a 5 car IET▸ (Intercity Express Train). Because of, we all know what, this was my first journey on the line since 2019 at least, probably 2018. The trip was very comfortable. One thing did surprise though, after Roche the line speed seemed faster than I seemed to remember. I am aware of new track laying, at several locations, in the intervening period since my last trip. My question is, is this 'line speed increase' the case or is it a figment of my imagination?

Delays to services between Par and Newquay
Following a points failure between Par and Newquay the line has now reopened.
Train services running to and from these stations are returning to normal. Disruption is expected until 15:00 17/01.

And here from elsewhere is a "control" example of a desperate case.

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.
