"This is a unique opportunity to consider making a step change improvement in Cornwall's railways to deliver greater local authority involvement through the new Great Western franchise and Government's devolution agenda."No-one can say that those in charge at County Hall lack ambition. Perhaps a new branch line to serve the stadium?

I bet a new Cornish song would soon follow, "going up newbridge hill coming down". Something along those lines LOL.

Not sure about St Just, Young Cornwall building a new line on that scale would need significant investment. Perhaps if our MPs lobbied for some compensation for being wholly left out of HS2 would could have money to invest in new stations Threemilestone and Pool seem obvious choices and perhaps if we're really lucky we could reopen the old branchlines...
