Ref fraddon retail park,could passengers travel by train to St Columb Road and then catch the bus?
Just a thought.
A final thought that the first train out of Newquay
1) The station has a departure board display and
2) real time information,so we don't see the train being shown as "on time" til 07:11 and then "delayed"

due to flooding.
Cancellations to services between Par and Newquay
Due to heavy rain flooding the railway at Roche the line is blocked. Disruption is expected until 12:00 20/02.
Train services between Par and Newquay will be cancelled.
Customer Advice
Rail replacement coaches have been arranged to run in place of the train service. These will run between St Austell and Newquay (in both directions). Customers at Par should take the next available train to St Austell for onward transport.
Please check station signs and wait for replacement road transport at the designated stop. The replacement road transport may run later than the advertised train times owing to the local road conditions, the additional time taken by road between stations and the time required for loading and unloading at each stop.
If you are travelling from an unstaffed station please use the Customer Help Point or contact National Rail Enquiries on 03457 484 950 detailing the total number of passengers travelling, and your intended destination. |

Wasn’t quite a coach. Roselyn coaches ran the replacement service with an Optare Solo. Which begs the question why not run it from Par as per the train. Their depot is almost next to Par station! |

Its a lot quicker to run the bus from St Austell to Newquay than from Par and it gives better onward connections on to the mainline. I also suspect most local travellers go on to St Austell anyway as there is hardly much to detain them in Par! ( with apologies to Parisians).

I saw the initial comment and thought "sensible for passengers to Newquay - but doesn't that make it a long way round for passengers from Par to Luxulyan, for example?". I suspect my thoughts were a classic example of looking from my armchair in far, far away. Luxulyan passengers may be rare as hen's teeth at the moment when you look at normal numbers, and the added distance really isn't that much when you look at the geographic layout  |

The board masters event WIIL go ahead from
Wednesday 11th August 2021 till Sunday 15th August 2021
Just a heads up if any one was thinking of visiting Newquay on those days/dates.

Given the chaos of previous years, it's certainly worth avoiding attempting to get there by train. |

I presume the direct Paddington to Newquay services will be in operation?

Planned for this summer ... so it should be. But London surfboards via Salisbury again? |

Perhaps they will extend a Plymouth service for a few days to cover it? If not - well I guess people will just go by road instead. |

It looks very curious in the timetable (above) though - with two summer services each way running non-stop between Par and Newquay where the services after mid September call at all stations. And one of them (at least) does not offer a London connection at Par - a brief look at Real Time Trains suggests two changes to get to London off the morning express from Newquay. Surely I have read this wrong? |

There are some through trains in RTT» from late June, not always the same ones and not on all days of the week to start with. Maybe they are still thinking aloud on a computer about them.

From the CrossCountry Trains website:
'Our new timetable commences on Sunday 16 May. We are continuing to operate a special timetable on some routes to keep services running throughout the coronavirus pandemic.
With the continuing need to run fewer but longer trains for the foreseeable future, this year we will not be operating the summer weekend train services to and from Newquay. Or the enhanced Saturday service to and from Paignton.'
Also nowadays CrossCountry services to Penzance have been cut by around two thirds compared to pre-Covid levels.
