Padstow Railway Car Park Eviction

We are deeply concerned by Padstow Town Council's decision to evict buses from the Railway Car Park from the 18 November 2024. This move, which is disproportionate in its severity, will have a significant impact on thousands of passengers who rely on our services daily. By removing access to the car park, passengers will now face the challenge of walking up and down a steep hill, which will undoubtedly cause unnecessary hardship, particularly for those with mobility issues, the elderly, and families.

 Go Cornwall Bus takes pride in being a responsible bus operator, dedicated to providing safe and reliable transport across the region. I hope people will acknowledge our drivers work in challenging conditions to ensure that our services run smoothly and efficiently, I acknowledge the specific concerns of the Town Council and have indicated my willingness to meet and discuss alternative outcomes; this decision will only add to the difficulties passengers already face in accessing an essential service to the community.

 We remain committed to engaging with Padstow Town Council to find a more reasonable solution that prioritises the needs of the passengers we serve. The removal of a key bus stop in such a vital location will not only inconvenience passengers but may also have wider economic impacts on the town, as it reduces accessibility for visitors.

 We urge all stakeholders to reconsider this decision and work together to ensure that public transport services can continue to operate effectively in Padstow.
