Welcome to random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.
The random article for Friday, 3 July 2026, is Atlantic Coast Line (Cornwall).
The Atlantic Coast Line is a 20+3⁄4-mile (33 km) railway branch line in Cornwall which runs from the coastal town of Par, to the Atlantic Ocean at Newquay.
The line sees use for freight and passenger traffic, with both local passenger services, as well as seasonal long distance services from Newquay to London via Par.
As part of the Mid Cornwall Metro project, the line and many of its stations are currently undergoing works to improve service frequency. Another aim of the project is to provide a continuous service that runs from Newquay to Par along the line, then on to the Cornish Main Line on to Falmouth on the Maritime Line.
The line operates a community railway passenger service but the line is not itself a community railway due to its freight traffic.
This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:32 UTC on Friday, 3 July 2026.
