trains call at the concrete platform of Falmouth Town railway station, which is nearer the National Maritime Museum, the waterside, and the shops. The station itself was constructed using items that were reclaimed from Perranporth Beach Halt after that station closed. It is now just a short distance to the terminus at Falmouth Docks railway station, from Truro. Falmouth Docks are below the station on the left, Pendennis Castle overlooks both these and the Gyllyngvase Beach on the other side of the line. Sidings serve the docks but are little used. Infrastructure When the line opened the signals were controlled by 'policemen' who walked between them. Signals and points at Truro station were in 1874 and signal boxes built in 1876. Other signal boxes were built at Penwithers Junction. Opened by 1879, rebuilt 1893, closed 7 November 1971. 36 Levers. Perranwell. Opened 1894, closed 18 April 1966.
