Bodmin General
GWR class 4200 2-8-0T no. 4247 (1916) just arrived at Bodmin General from Bodmin Parkway, on the afternoon of Saturday, 30th May 2015. The locomotive will need to run round here before the train can continue to Boscarne Junction. This station was opened by the GWR as Bodmin, terminus of their branch from Bodmin Road (now Bodmin Parkway) on 27th May 1887 and on 3rd September 1888 a link was opened to the Bodmin & Wadebridge Railway of 1834 at Boscarne Junction. The station was renamed Bodmin General post-Nationalisation by British Railways Western Region on 26th November 1949. Passenger services between Bodmin Road and Padstow, including the spur from Boscarne to Bodmin North, were withdrawn on 30th January 1967 but freight continued to the Wenford Bridge branch of the Bodmin & Wadebridge until 1983.
