Bodmin Parkway
Bodmin Parkway station looking west, on 30th May 2015. This station was opened as Bodmin Road on 4th May 1859 and renamed on 4th November 1983. Until 30th January 1967, it was possible to change here for trains to Bodmin General, Wadebridge and Padstow via Cornwall's first line, the Bodmin & Wadebridge Railway that had opened in 1834. This had a lengthy freight only section to Wenford Bridge that survived until 1983. Part of the GWR route of 1887 from Bodmin Parkway to Bodmin General and a later section to Boscarne Junction, is now the heritage Bodmin & Wenford Railway and the Company has long term plans to extend back to Wadebridge.
