Routes
There are six rural branch lines promoted by the Partnership, each supported by a Working Party and supported by local councils and designated as community rail lines by the Department for Transport.
- Atlantic Coast Line – Par to Newquay
- Looe Valley Line – Liskeard to Looe
- Maritime Line – Truro to Falmouth
- St Ives Bay Line – St Erth to St Ives
- Tamar Valley Line – Plymouth to Gunnislake
- Tarka Line – Exeter to Barnstaple
There are two further lines which radiate from Exeter – the Avocet Line and the Riviera Line – but are not designated as community railways and are not usually part of the work of the Partnership. They do, however, sometimes feature in "scenic railway" promotions by the Partnership, as do the region's heritage railway lines.
In addition, several railway stations have "Friends" groups supported by the Partnership and which undertake local promotion of services and take on work such as gardening and litter collection.

Famous quotes containing the word routes:
“The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
