[edit] Article name

I am rather confused by this article. It does not seem to describe St Dennis railway station, rather it is a general "history of railway lines through the Cornish village of St. Dennis". Indeed, I can find no record of a railway station here, people needing to travel to St Columb Road to catch trains.

Is this article really about St Dennis Junction, or is it perhaps the start of the missing Cornwall Mineral Railways article? Geof Sheppard 08:24, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm wondering the same.Graldensblud 18:42, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Passenger service

Clarfication needed between two parts of the article:

"to reopen the link between St. Dennis Junction and St. Dennis in order to once again give a through passenger route between St Austell and St. Dennis" (St Denis Junction is on the Newquay line so the meaning is clearly complete through passenger service.

and

"although the line has never carried scheduled passenger trains"

Was this ever more than a mineral line? Graldensblud 18:42, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

There has never been a scheduled passenger service between Burngullow and St Dennis over this route. If anyone wanted to make the journey, they would have had to travel to Par and change trains there. Geof Sheppard 13:46, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
