Name and dates

St Budeaux Junction (1941-)

Station code: STB National Rail
Opened on the Cornwall Railway.

Description

This junction was put in in 1941 by the Railway Executive. It allowed a train from the Plymouth, Devonport and South Western Junction Railway to join the Cornwall Railway and reach the Devonport Dockyard.

In 1964 the PD&SWR closed between St Budeaux and Devonport and this connection allowed the part of it north from St Budeaux to remain open.
