Why are we proposing changes?

The Mid Cornwall Metro rail service improvements will mean more people will be traveling to and from Newquay train station. It will also act as a catalyst for future retail, leisure, cultural and residential development in the station area.

This is why we want to make the roads leading to the station safer and more attractive to use for pedestrians and cyclists - and a more attractive place for people to spend time in.

That also fits with the Newquay Town Centre Development Framework, produced by Newquay Town Council and the Town Team, which highlights the need for change at Newquay Station Quarter, including by improving the station arrival experience and public realm on Cliff Road.

What is Mid Cornwall Metro?

Mid Cornwall Metro is a £56.8m scheme, largely funded through the Government’s Levelling Up Fund. Rail improvements to be delivered through the scheme include the re-introduction of a second platform at Newquay Train Station and a new passing loop at Tregoss Moor which will allow for increased frequency of trains between the mainline and Newquay as well as through journeys between Falmouth and Newquay. These improvements equate to an additional 700,000 seats a year between Newquay and Par.

A key feature of the Mid Cornwall Metro programme is improving accessibility to Newquay and other train stations on the route by sustainable, active means – by foot and by cycle.

Public Engagement

Between 8th February and 17th March 2024 we asked people to let us know what they think of our draft plans. These plans show the proposed changes to the streetscape and public realm that are aimed at enabling better access to the station and surrounding area by bus, by foot, by wheelchair and by cycle and making the area more attractive for people to spend time in.

To provide feedback, people could complete a survey. The results of this survey and public engagement feedback have been analysed and are helping to inform the next stage of the design of the scheme, which will be subject to a formal consultation later this year.

A consultation on phase 1 of the proposals (Edgecumbe Avenue to Barrowfields) is open until 7 November 2024.

Refined Design

We presented the developed designs at an event on October 24th 2024. They are now published on this page so you can see how the scheme has progressed and how we’ve incorporated the feedback received from the public engagement into the proposals.
