Hello, you've actually duplicated long parts of the miniature railway and it's also been joined in places to the abandoned railway. If the abandoned and the miniature railway occupy the same line then there should only be one line feature. If you need any help please just ask.

Thats a tricky one
If you look at the ITO map for historical railways
It looks like the old Newquay to Chacewater line has got a missing section, or it simply ended somewhere around Newlyn East.
I would argue that there are two separate railway lines there.
One was a standard gauge section of the Newquay to Chacewater line that was dismantled as part of the dreaded beaching axe.
The other is a narrow gauge Lappa Valley tourist line built afterwards but on the same trackbed.
It might be difficult to have one feature there, one is a British Rail standard gauge line, the other a tourist line layed afterwards.
I actually went on the narrow gauge line as a kid (grew up in Newquay) but had no idea at the time it was once part of a branch line

Hi, you are undoubtedly correct and my comment is not directed against your information. The Way history shows you have inadvertently duplicated a section of the line. Please look at
Way: Truro - Newquay Railway (110024265), from Benny Halt to a point 800m south this line is duplicated. That makes three lines in total. In fact, the three lines crisscross over each other sometimes (it seems) randomly joining.From 800m south of Benny Halt down to Newlyn Halt the two lines crisscross over each other sometimes (it seems) randomly joining. This was drawn by other folk but is still incorrect mapping.
The OS map 1937-61 shows only one line.
Regards Bernard
