Metro Rail Project ‘Best Service Since Steam Days’

The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on the BBC.

This is the sub-heading.

A £50m project to improve rail links to Newquay has been hailed as “the best service since the steam days”.

These three introductory paragraphs add detail to the story.

The Mid Cornwall Metro service will run direct hourly trains between Newquay and Par from 17 May after a 400m “passing loop” at Goss Moor and a second platform at Newquay have been installed.

Matt Barnes from Great Western Railway (GWR) said the route had not been developed since the age of steam trains and the improvements would be “a real step change” for Newquay’s residents and visitors.

Direct routes between Newquay and Falmouth are due to begin next year.

Note.

1. Services start on May 17th.

I have great hopes that this rail service will be a big success.
