Bodmin General
Exterior of Bodmin General station, Bodmin & Wenford Railway, restored to its 1950s appearance, seen on 30th May 2015. This station was opened by the GWR on 27th May 1887 and until 26th November 1949 was known simply as Bodmin. It was closed by BR Western Region as part of the infamous Beeching cuts, on 30th January 1967 although freight to the Wenford Bridge branch continued until 1983. The line was ripe for reopening as a heritage line and in 1984 the Bodmin Railway Preservation Society was formed, holding an Open Day at Bodmin General in 1986. Heritage trains to Bodmin Parkway began running in 1990 and to Boscarne Junction in 1996.
