The Plymouth-Gunnislake line provides a vital transport link for residents of the beautiful but difficult-to-reach and very rural Tamar Valley. The line also attracts a stream of visitors keen to sample the fine views, walks and food that the valley has to offer.

We work to encourage more local people to take the train and more day trippers and tourists to visit the Tamar Valley and contribute to its local economy.

Driving up journey figures
Through train service improvements, teaming up with local businesses to sell tickets in local shops, promoting the line locally, regionally and nationally, and improving stations with the help of volunteers and partner organisations, use of the line has grown by more than 50% since 2001.
