Lostwithiel is on the A390 which leaves the A381 west of Liskeard and continues to St. Austell. Turn left on the main street and most roads will take you down to the station.
There is car parking at the station.
There is generally one train per hour stopping at Lostwithiel though some of the longer distance services do miss it out.
There are a few shops in the town which is 5-10 minutes walk away.
The light at the station is best in the morning for eastbound trains entering the station. There is a good range of semaphore signals and the signal box is on the platform.
Shots of trains heading west are poor. Mid-morning there is usually a China Clay working to Fowey. This passes through the station from the west and runs round in the loop to the east before returning west down the branch. It is possible to photograph the train entering the station before driving to the famous location at Golant, which is only a couple of miles away, to again photograph it next to the river on the branch.
