Sandplace railway station ({{lang-kw|Tewesva}}[1]) is an intermediate station on the scenic Looe Valley Line in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The station serves the hamlet of Sandplace and is {{convert|6.5|mi|km|0}} south of Liskeard.

The single platform is on the left of trains arriving from Liskeard (as seen in the image on the right).

History

The Liskeard and Looe Railway was opened on 27 December 1860 to carry goods traffic; passenger trains started on 11 September 1879, but Sandplace did not have a station until December 1881. A goods siding was provided a little distance south of the station but has been closed for many years.

Sandplace is one of the stations named in Bernard Moore's poem Travelling.

Community rail

The railway between Liskeard and Looe is designated as a community rail line and is supported by marketing provided by the Devon and Cornwall Rail Partnership. The line is promoted under the "Looe Valley Line" name.

The "Polruan Country House Hotel" is included in the Looe Valley Line rail ale trail. This is one of the most difficult rail ale trail pubs to visit as it has very limited opening hours.

Services

All trains on the Liskeard to Looe "Looe Valley Line" stop at Sandplace on request – this means that passengers alighting here must tell the conductor that they wish to do so, and those waiting to join must signal clearly to the driver as the train approaches. There is no Sunday service in the winter.
