Lelant railway station is on the waterfront of the Hayle estuary below the village of Lelant in Cornwall, United Kingdom. It is {{convert|322|mi|km}} from {{stn|London Paddington}} via {{rws|Bristol Temple Meads}}. Opened in 1877, it is now only a request stop served by just a limited number of trains. HistoryThe station was opened by the Great Western Railway on 1 June 1877 on their new branch line from {{stnlnk|St Erth}} to {{stnlnk|St Ives}}. No goods sidings were ever provided at the station, but a line was laid from the station out to sidings on Lelant Wharf where traffic could be transferred between railway wagons and boats. The St Ives branch was laid using {{RailGauge|7ft}} broad gauge but in October 1888 a third rail was added to the line from St Erth to allow {{RailGauge|ussg}} standard gauge goods trains to reach the wharf. The last broad gauge train ran on Friday 20 May 1892; since the following Monday all trains have been standard gauge.[1] Goods traffic was withdrawn in May 1956[2] and the station is now unstaffed. The original wooden station building is now a private dwelling and has been extended in a sympathetic style. The village is at the top of the road that climbs the hill opposite the station entrance. The Old Station house was renovated in July 2009{{Citation needed|date=August 2009}} and serves cream teas. A level crossing at the St Erth end of the platform gave access to a slipway with the crossing gates hung on granite pillars in the local style. Three of these pillars still stand by the line. DescriptionThe station is {{convert|1|mi|km}} north of St Erth and faces the Hayle Estuary. There is just a single platform, which is on the left of trains arriving from St Erth.[3] Limited car parking is available, adjacent to the platform. The village is at the top of the road that climbs the hill opposite the station entrance. ServicesLelant is a request stop, although the majority of trains on the route are not scheduled to call at the station. Passengers wanting to join the train need to signal to the driver, and those who wish to alight need to inform the conductor. {{rail start}}{{rail line|next={{stnlnk|Carbis Bay}} |previous={{stnlnk|Lelant Saltings}} |route=Great Western RailwaySt Ives Bay Line |col={{FGW colour}} }}{{rail line|previous={{stnlnk|St Erth}}|next={{stnlnk|Carbis Bay}}|route=Great Western Railway St Ives Bay Line |col={{GWR colour}} }}{{s-end}} References{{Commons category|Lelant railway station}}1. ^{{cite book| last = MacDermot| first = E T| title = History of the Great Western Railway |edition= 1|volume= 2 (1863-1921)| publisher = Great Western Railway| year = 1931| location = London| isbn = 0-7110-0411-0}} {{Swcp2. ^{{cite journal | last = Jenkins | first = Stanley C | title = the St Ives Branch | journal = Great Western Railway Journal | issue = Cornish Special Issue | pages = 2–34 | publisher = Wild Swan Publications Ltd| year = 1992}} 3. ^{{cite book| last = Jacobs| first = Gerald| title = Railway Track Diagrams Book 3: Western| publisher = Trackmaps| year = 2005| location = Bradford-on-Avon| isbn = 0-9549866-1-X}} |topath={{convert|0.25|mi|km}} |anti-nextstation=Carbis Bay {{convert|1|mi|km}} |clck-nextstation=Lelant Saltings {{convert|0.25|mi|km}}}}{{Cornwall railway stations}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Lelant Railway Station}} 5 : Railway stations in Cornwall|Railway stations opened in 1877|Former Great Western Railway stations|Railway stations served by Great Western Railway|Railway request stops in Great Britain |
