Again, just for the record - from FGW▸ live updates: Line problem between Par and Newquay. Train services are being disrupted due to a landslip between Par and Newquay.

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.

William Huskisson MP▸ 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.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.

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!

Update, from the BBC» : 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.
