What the Truro run usually involves
Truro is Cornwall's county town and its only city, which is why most of this route is appointments rather than days out. The courts, the council offices and Royal Cornwall Hospital all sit here, and they all run to a timetable.
Treliske is on the western edge of the city, so coming from Newquay you reach the hospital before the centre. That catches people out - if your appointment is at the hospital rather than in town, the run is shorter than the address suggests.
Hospital appointments rarely finish when they are supposed to. Rather than booking a return for a time nobody can predict, most people message when they are done and Wayne comes back. If you would rather he waited, say so when you book and he will quote it that way.
Truro station is on the main line, so this route is often the first leg of something longer. Early departures mean early pickups, and Wayne would rather set off with time in hand than cut it fine for a train.
City centre parking is limited and fills early on Saturdays and through December. Being dropped at the door and collected later takes the circling out of the day entirely.
Newquay to Truro FAQ
Around 20 minutes for the 12 miles in normal traffic. Allow longer at school-run times and on Saturday mornings, when the approaches to the city are busier.
Yes - it is one of the most regular runs on this route. Treliske sits on the western edge of Truro, so it is reached before the city centre coming from Newquay.
Either way works. Wayne can wait and bring you back, or you message when you are finished and he returns. Say which you would prefer when you book so the quote matches.
