Cornwall Council has given the green light to another scheme in the Government’s Restoring Your Railway programme. Mid Cornwall Metro involves the upgrading of railways so that direct trains can run every hour between Newquay, Truro and Falmouth, alongside intercity services to Newquay. In the longer term, there are plans to increase frequencies still further. The Government has contributed almost ?50 million, and the remainder will come from Cornwall Council and other funders.
