Again, just for the record - from FGW (First Great Western) live updates:

Quote
Line problem between Par and Newquay.
Train services are being disrupted due to a landslip between Par and Newquay. Short notice cancellations can be expected.
Train services between Par and Newquay have been suspended until further notice. The latest indication is that the line will remain closed for the next seven days, an update will be available next week. Replacement road transport is currently in operation. This operates between between Par and Newquay in both directions for customers requiring to travel to or from intermediate stations. A separate non-stop coach service is in operation between St Austell and Newquay, and return. Customers will need to allow extra time for travelling to or from Newquay while these arrangements are in force.

Looks like 'Slippy' won't have to eat a Class 153 then - which would have been interesting to watch, but would have done nothing for capacity in the area!  Wink

Update, from the BBC» (British Broadcasting Corporation - home page):

Quote
Cornish flood damage closes Luxulyan Valley footpaths

People in Cornwall are being advised to avoid visiting a valley because access has been severely reduced after recent flooding and a railway line landslip.

Several footpaths in the Luxulyan Valley have been closed because of the floods last week and damage to the Par to Newquay line, Cornwall Council said.

Work has begun on repairing the railway embankment and footpaths.

However, restrictions were likely to stay in place until the middle of December, the council said.

Warning signs have been put up at paths which are closed.

The Newquay branch line was closed by mudslides on the track near Luxulyan.

It is not expected to reopen until mid-December, Network Rail said.

Seems quite quick given the original date estimated. Bodmin and Wenford having landslip problems of their own too.

The National Rail website is saying

Following a landslip at Luxulyan on 17 November, trains between Newquay and Par have been suspended.
This is expected to continue until at least Monday 13 December.
