Penryn railway station is on the Maritime Line between Truro and Falmouth Docks, and serves the town of Penryn, Cornwall as well as Penryn Campus (formerly known as Tremough Campus). It is {{miles-chains|309|mi|10|chain|km}} measured from {{stn|London Paddington}} (via Box and Plymouth Millbay).[1] The services are operated by Great Western Railway. HistoryThe station was opened by the Cornwall Railway in 1863. It originally had a passing loop but was rationalised to just a single platform when the line was being run by British Rail. A new {{convert|400|m|yd}} passing loop was installed in 2008,[2] being brought into use in 2009 before the new timetable commenced on 17 May as this called for two trains to be in operation on the branch for most of the day.[3] To pay for this work £4.67million was provided from European Union funds, £2.5million from Cornwall Council, and £600,000 from Network Rail.[4] The new works were formally opened by Kevin Lavery, the Chief Executive of Cornwall Council, on 18 May 2009.[5] DescriptionThere is a single platform that offers level access from the car park. Trains towards Truro run from left to right; trains towards Falmouth Docks run from right to left. When constructing the loop a novel approach was adopted which avoided the building of a footbridge and works to the disused platform. The formerly disused northern end of the platform has been reinstated, and is now called Platform 2, and an extension has been built onto the southern end which is now called Platform 1, the middle section of the platform is now used to pass between the two. The extension and reistatement creates a platform of {{convert|238|m|ft}} in length; the southern end of the loop joins the main branch at the northern end of Platform 1. New modern shelters have been built on each platform, and the brick shelter from 1998 still exists. The disused platform on the far side of the loop line was formerly used by trains towards Truro. On Monday 8 April 2013 Pay and display was introduced for the station car park.[6] SignallingTruro-bound trains use the northern end of the station (Platform 2), arriving before the Falmouth-bound train, which will pass through the new loop and to the southern end of the platform (Platform 1), allowing the Truro-bound train to continue its journey north. This gives a rare situation in the United Kingdom where trains run on the right, instead of on the left as is usual in this country. Trains are scheduled to depart simultaneously for Truro and Falmouth. Signals are controlled from the signal box at Truro. Axle counters allow one train to be in the section between Penwithers Junction and Penryn, and another between Penryn and Falmouth Docks. The Up and Down Branch line (the platform line) is signalled for trains in either direction; the Down Loop is only signalled for trains towards Falmouth.[7] References1. ^{{cite book |last1=Yonge |first1=John |last2=Padgett |first2=David |editor-last=Bridge |editor-first=Mike |title=Railway Track Diagrams 3: Western |edition=5th |date=August 2010 |origyear=1989 |publisher=Trackmaps |location=Bradford on Avon |isbn=978-0-9549866-6-7 |at=map 10A |ref=harv }} 2. ^{{cite journal| title = Penryn loop installed| journal = Modern Railways| volume = 65| issue = 722| pages = 12| publisher = Ian Allan| year = 2008| issn = 0026-8356}} 3. ^{{cite web |title = National Rail Timetable 143 (Summer 2009)|publisher= Network Rail|url = http://www.networkrail.co.uk/browse%20documents/eNRT/May09/timetables/Table143.pdf|format=PDF|accessdate=2009-05-11}} 4. ^{{cite journal| title = Green light for Penryn loop| journal = Modern Railways| volume = 65| issue = 718| pages = 9| publisher = Ian Allan Publishing| year = 2008| issn = 0026-8356}} 5. ^{{cite journal | last = Heaps | first = Chris | title = New loop revitalises Falmouth branch | journal = Modern Railways | volume = 66 | issue = 730 | pages = 16 | publisher = Ian Allan Publishing | year = 2009 | accessdate = | issn = 0026-8356 }} 6. ^{{cite news|last1=Fountain|first1=Greg|title=End of free parking at Penryn rail station|url=http://www.falmouthpacket.co.uk/news/10383151.End_of_free_parking_at_Penryn_rail_station/|accessdate=7 March 2016|work=Falmouth Packet|date=26 April 2013}} 7. ^{{cite journal | last = Jacobs | first = G.A. | title = Trackwatch | journal = Modern Railways | volume = 66 | issue = 731 | pages = 17 | publisher = Ian Allan | year = 2009 | issn = 0026-8356}} Further reading{{commons category|Penryn railway station}}
