Causeland railway station (Cornish:Tir an Bughes) is an intermediate station 5 miles (8.0 km) south ofLiskeard on the scenicLooe Valley Line inCornwall, United Kingdom, which serves the hamlet ofCauseland.
TheLiskeard and Looe Railway was opened on 27 December 1860 to carry goods traffic; passenger trains started on 11 September 1879. The railway in those days connected with theLiskeard and Caradon Railway atMoorswater, and Causeland was the only other station apart fromLooe.
In December 1881 Causeland was closed and a new station opened a little further down the valley atSandplace. Causeland was reopened in June 1888.
Very few facilities are provided at Causeland, consisting of a simple waiting shelter, an information board and a payphone.[1]
All trains on theLooe Valley Line fromLiskeard toLooe stop at Causeland on request: passengers alighting here must tell the conductor that they wish to do so, and those waiting to join must signal clearly to the driver as the train approaches. There is no Sunday service in the winter.
