Transport from Newquay to Penzance

Post by vjsparks@gmail.com »

My friend and I are flying into Newquay from USA. We need to find a way to get our bicycles and ourselves to Penzance to start the LEJOG with a cycling group. We will not have a way to load our bikes and cycle there. Is there a bus or train or shuttle that could take us??

Welcome.

Rail:
Train connections from Newquay to Penzance take a couple of hours, and I think that you always have to change once. It's about 6 miles from the airport to the train station. The station in Penzance is in the town. You can take bikes on the trains but I can't remember the details.

Taxi:
We've often used taxis to join up our walking trips in Cornwall. I'd include that in your option appraisal.

Whilst they are only an hour or so drive apart, the public transport options aren't great

I would definitely organise a taxi from Newquay airport to Penzance. The last thing you need is the hassle having to take a bus, then change to a train, just arrived from USA and, split between two, the taxi cost will not be extortionate
