Landslide have blocked two lines in Cornwall after gale force winds and torrential rain lashed the far south west overnight. One of the slips was on the main line between Lostwithiel and Par, while the other was near Luxulyan on the Newquay branch, which is closed as a result. There are also no trains between Par and Liskeard.
