Perranporth Beach Halt was the other side of the semi-demolished bridge - where the houses are that you said about being a ghost to pass through them. There is nothing left of it now. The platform was taken up and reused at Falmouth Station.

i spent my 1st holiday in perranporth in 1964 at lisky hill caravan site. as you walk down the hill next to the police station there was a footpath sign to the station so my brother and i explored it and sure enough the station was still there. we played around it quite a few times. During that time walking down into perranporth walking over the bridge that you are standing on looking down, when we were at same spot there was a diesel train with trucks and a crane taking up the tracks.

The only thing I would say is that it's Goonhavern not Goonhaven. The stopping places between Newquay and Perranporth were Trewerry & Trerice Halt, Mitchell & Newlyn Halt, Shepherds Station, Goonhavern Halt, Perranporth Station. There was also Perranporth Beach Halt a bit further along the line which opened in 1931.

Hello you pronounced goonhavern as goonhayvern. In perranporth on station road there is an industrial estate the is called the old station business park . My dad rents a builders yard wich was apparently where coal was kept. The train line ran through there . They are building a cycle path called the saints trail between perranporth and Newquay wich is on old bridges wich the trains used . Also perranporths old platform is now at Falmouth docks . Also on the other side at Truro station there is another platform wich was used for perranporth. In goonhavern through the park there is old stone work so the train line must of went through it . If you wonder why I know all this I’m a local in that area and I travelled loads on trains before covid.

Another great episode! I do love exploring old abandoned railway lines. You raise a very good point though about not being able to find images online. The fallowfield loop cycle path local to me used to be part of the great central mainline and similarly I can hardly find any photographs. Cheers Aadil

Much appreciated! It’s good to look at the history of the railways. It’s so annoying how you can’t get any photos of some old lines. Only a select few. Cheers Steven

Seems that the main feature of this old line is Perranwell Viaduct, still there since being built in 1903. Complete. You can now walk the old line from our village Goonhavern to Perranporth. I have comprehensive photos online of our section if people wish to view.

Can anyone help with this please? A couple of days ago I posted a link to a video about the Perranporth to Newquay railway, but it hasn't appeared. So I tried again and it still hasn't! As I type this though it says there are 9 comments but I can only see 7, so maybe the other two are my missing ones! Any ideas please?

Typical of these video's. They know nothing . The original line was built for the carriage of Fuller's Earth from Treamble.via Rejerrah, Scotland Road, Shepards, Newlyn to Newquay. The Newquay to Chacewater was an afterthought! Sonny Jim, you ought to buy yourself an old GWR map!

Terence Burchett, what great fun you must be at parties. Someone took the time and trouble to make and upload this video and all you can do is rubbish it. By the way, there's no apostrophe in videos, it's plural, not possessive.
