A bright sunny morning at Bodmin Parkway, (formerly Bodmin Road station) the group's train leaves for Penzance after its special stop here. The Bodmin & Wenford Railway, with its convenient cross platform interchange, curves away right to Bodmin Town. Buses also run hourly (six on SuO) from the station to Bodmin, Wadebridge and Padstow.<br>[© Neil Greenwood 2018]
In the other direction looking towards Plymouth the buffer stops (centre of picture and to the left of the platforms) are on the headshunt for the Bodmin and Wenford Railway run-round line which in BR days continued to form the main line connection. Far left is a new 'OFF' indicator. They would never allow a new station with such curved platforms now!<br>[© Neil Greenwood 2018]
