context_page_description: The evolution of transport in Cornwall has been shaped by the county's strong maritime, mining and industrial traditions and much of the transport infrastructure reflects this heritage.
  However, with the decline in mining and industry over the last century and more, transport provision in Cornwall has increasingly focused on the needs of tourism and holiday-makers. An example of this is the improvement of the A30 trunk road; the substantial dual carriageway sections have greatly relieved summer traffic congestion but are very under-used in winter.
  In the case of the railway system, although Cornwall has lost some of its rail network since nationalisation in 1948, it has fared better than many other rural areas of England. In part, this is because many Cornish lines serve holiday destinations and are visitor attractions in their own right.
context_section_description: First Kernow, Plymouth Citybus and Go Cornwall Bus, Stagecoach South West, Hopley's Coaches and Summercourt Travel also operate services around the county including services to Devon.
  A park and ride express bus service operates in Truro, transporting passengers from Threemilestone to Truro city centre.
