Services
Newquay is the terminus of the branch line from Par. It handles a number of intercity trains in the summer as well as local services, which is very unusual for a modern branch.
On summer Saturdays local services are entirely replaced by First Great Western trains from London Paddington and CrossCountry trains from the Midlands and the North of England, which do not stop at intermediate stations between Par and Newquay. On Sundays there are some local trains and also a small number of intercity services. As well as the weekend through trains, in peak summer months there is also a Monday-Friday through First Great Western intercity service to and from London, but local trains continue on these days too. Traditionally, there was no Sunday service in the winter, even in the 'golden age' between both of the 20th century's world wars, but the line has a service of three trains each way on Sundays from 11 December 2011.

“It seems I impregnated Marge
So I do rather feel, by and large,
Some cash should be tendered
For services rendered,
But I can’t quite decide what to charge.”
