A class 153 unit passes through Perranwell station; trains call here only by request, but even then only every other train does so and this was not one of them. The station was opened in 1864, the year after the Truro - Falmouth branch itself. The speed signs indicate a differential speed restriction whereby trains are ordinarily restricted to 30mph but multiple units (which in fact form the vast majority of the traffic here) may pass at 35 mph.
