The Cornish Main Line is a railway line in Cornwall in the United Kingdom. It runs from Penzance to Plymouth, crossing from Cornwall into Devon over the famous Royal Albert Bridge at Saltash.
It directly serves Truro, St Austell, Bodmin (by a Parkway station), and Liskeard, and it forms the backbone for rail services in Cornwall, as well as providing a direct line to London. There are branches off the main line serving St Ives, Falmouth, Newquay, and Looe.
It is the southernmost railway line in the United Kingdom, and the westernmost in England.
