Lelant Saltings railway station ({{lang-kw|Holanek Lannanta}}^[1]) was opened on 27 May 1978 to provide a park and ride facility for visitors to St Ives, Cornwall, England. It is situated on the A3074 road close to the junction with the A30 near the foot of the hill up to Lelant village. It is {{convert|321.5|mi|km}} from {{stn|London Paddington}} via {{rws|Bristol Temple Meads}}.

History

The station was opened by British Rail on 27 May 1978 and had a car park for 300 vehicles. A return ticket to St Ives cost £0.60. Cornwall County Council provided £35,000 to build the car park and Penwith District Council paid £15,000 to build the platform. During the first summer nearly 136,000 people were carried from the station, with 3,000 cars using the car park in peak weeks. Nearly 40% of users surveyed said that they would not have visited St Ives if the park and ride was not available.^[2] The park and ride is signed from the A30 road which carries the majority of long-distance car travellers to Cornwall.

Description

The station is {{convert|0.5|mi|m}} north of St Erth and faces the Hayle Estuary. There is just a single platform ^[3] built from pre-cast concrete components, which is on the left of trains arriving from St Erth.

St Ives Town F.C. play their football matches on a pitch at The Saltings next to the station.

Services

All trains are operated by Great Western Railway between {{stnlnk|St Ives}} and {{stnlnk|St Erth}}, although a few are extended beyond St Erth to {{stnlnk|Penzance}}. Some trains start and terminate here on summer afternoons. Trains are half-hourly through most of the week.^[4]
