The line between Liskeard and Looe remains closed following a period of recent heavy rain which flooded the track.
Heavy rainfall during December combined with high tides and continued rainfall throughout January and February resulted in the water levels at several bridges along the line being above the level which allows trains to run safely. There is also some damage to the bridges which require repairs. Once the water levels drop again repair, work will start.
