It can be very frustrating trying to find out how to travel to and from Newquay, whether that’s by airline, train or bus. So here’s a Newquay Travel Guide.
Newquay Airport
Newquay airport is 2-3 miles out of the town, near Watergate Bay – and has daily flights coming in from around the UK from about 6-8 different airlines.
Newquay Railway Station
Newquay Railway Station is right in town and there are a small handful of trains arriving and departing daily. The line is a single track from Newquay to Par – Par is on the main London-to-Penzance route.
If you’re looking at travel times to Newquay by train, you might be staggered at how long they are, but dig a bit deeper and you might spot that you alight at Par Station, then have to wait there a long time, before an exceedingly slow train trundles you the last part.
Consider catching the bus from St Austell to Newquay (or get a taxi) if this bothers you. St Austell station is tiny and the bus station is right next to it – there’s no distance to walk and you can’t get it wrong because the bus station’s small too.
Newquay Buses and Newquay Bus Station
There are a couple of companies that provide bus services in Newquay from Manor Road bus station:
Newquay bus station is right in the town, behind the pedestrianised area. The prices of tickets isn’t published, but there are some All Day Tickets and similar available from both companies, which you need to ask the driver about.
First Group bought out Truronian and they haven’t repainted all the buses, so if you see Truronian buses they are First Group.
