00:00So we're currently at Ponce Mill Viaduct on the Newquay Branch, and Network Railroad
00:06had the line closed here for a couple of weeks in order to deliver the first stage of some
00:12of our works for the mid-Cornwall Metro.
00:14And it was on inspection of the track in order to reopen.
00:18We found the damage to the retaining wall, which has obviously destabilised the track.
00:23So on finding the damage that you can see, we've brought in our contractors on an emergency
00:30call out to repair the work.
00:33They're mobilising themselves on site currently in order to effect the repair, that we should
00:37see the line open Friday the 13th of December.
00:42We'd like to just thank our passengers in the area, clearly recognise the length of
00:47time that the line was closed on a planned basis, and then what will happen on emergency.
00:52And we're going to be doing everything we can to get the line open, so apologies again.
