The service had one small break when it was suspended between October, 1904, and April, 1905, owing to the refusal of the Helston Rural District Council to steam roll the road. At this time there was no steam roller in use anywhere west of Plymouth, and the railway company loaned one of its steam rollers to the Cornwall County Council, to secure an improvement in the road conditions.
