Lelant Saltings railway station was opened on 27 May 1978 to provide a Park and ride facility for visitors to St Ives.
The station is situated on the St Ives Bay Line, alongside the Hayle estuary. There is just a single platform, trains towards St Ives run from left to right.
The station also serves St Ives Town F.C., who play on a pitch at The Saltings next to the station.
History
The station was initially provided with a car park for 300 vehicles, all the occupants of each could travel to St Ives for just 60p. Cornwall County Council provided £35,000 to build the car park and Penwith District Council paid £15,000 to build the platform. During the first summer nearly 138,000 people were carried from the station, with 3,000 cars using the car park in peak weeks.
