Originally opened in 1887 to connect Helston to the main railway line from London to Penzance; the line mainly used to carry agricultural goods. The track ceased operations in 1965.
Helston Railway Preservation Society worked hard to re-open a part of the railway, which has been running a passenger service since 2011.
