Trains to St Ives - Station Details and further Information on St Ives Train Services
St Ives train station serves the busy coastal town of St. Ives, Cornwall, United Kingdom. It was opened in 1877 as the terminus of the the last new broad gauge passenger railway to be constructed in the country. Converted to standard gauge in 1892, it is today served by First Great Western services on the St Ives Bay Line from St Erth. It has just a single platform.
All trains are operated by First Great Western. Most operate to and from St Erth where connections can be had into trains on the Cornish Main Line, but a few are extended to Penzance to facilitate crew changes.
The station is situated on the hill above Porthminster beach on the south side of the town. It comprises a single platform which is on the left of trains arriving from St Erth, which is 4.25 miles to the south. A large car park is situated adjacent to the platform and the town centre is a short walk down the hill from the car park entrance. The town’s small bus station is situated the car park entrance.
A path leads from the car park down to Porthminster beach, from where the South West Coast Path can be followed back to Carbis Bay or through the town towards Lands End. |
