A train colliding with a tree led to the Falmouth to Truro branchline service being cancelled for a day.

Although shaken all of the passengers escaped unhurt from the crash.

The tree fell on to the tracks after high winds the night before and was struck by the 6.19am to Falmouth, the first train of the day.

After the collision, on January 13, the branchline train was taken out of service for the rest of the day while it underwent repairs.

Passengers travelling on the 6.19am service were bussed the rest of the way and a coach service was set up for the rest of the day.

PC Colin Burrell, from British Transport Police, said this is an on-going problem with the Falmouth to Truro branchline because of all the trees lining the tracks.
