Focal Monthly Meetings


A warm welcome awaits anyone interested in the Par to Newquay Branch Line.


Travel the Newquay Branch Line


In just two years Focal has achieved a 75% increase in the frequency of local services on the Newquay Branch Line, from four to seven services a day, beginning 15th December 2008. 

  • The new timetable includes early morning and late evening services, allowing the possibility of commuting for the first time in many years. 

The new service also provides for better connections with the main line. 


Purchase Unique Footage of the Chacewater Line


You can also support Focal's work by purchasing a copy of our unique DVD entitled 'The First Cut: the end of the Chacewater Line'. 

The DVD presents a series of short films, collected and narrated by local railway historian, Focal member and one-time Newquay Station Master Stan May.  The films date from 1936 to 1963.

  • The 40-minute DVD has been compiled and edited by Geoff Mason-Brown and costs just £10.50 incl. p&p.

  • To view two film clips, or to purchase the full DVD, visit Geoff's web site at www.bluelightmedia.org.
