| Location / Directions |
The Bodmin & Wenford Railway (BWR) is a heritage railway, based at Bodmin in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It has an interchange with the national rail network at Bodmin Parkway railway station, the southern terminus of the line. |
| Description | From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: The Great Western Railway opened its branch line from Bodmin Road to Bodmin General 27 May 1887, and on 3 September 1888 a junction line was opened to join with the Bodmin and Wadebridge Railway which had opened its line from Bodmin North to Wadebridge in 1834. The line closed on 3 October 1983 following the demise of freight traffic from Wenford. RouteThe stations served are all in or near Bodmin. They are:Bodmin Parkway (50.4662°N 4.7168°W) Colesloggett Halt (50.4461°N 4.6627°W) Boscarne Junction (50.4740°N 4.7614°W) Bodmin General (50.4599°N 4.6745°W) The route from Bodmin General to Bodmin Parkway is 3 1⁄2 miles (5.6 km) and Bodmin General to Boscarne Junction is 3 miles (4.8 km). On leaving Bodmin parkway, the route first crosses the River Fowey by a five-arch viaduct, and then climbs up towards Bodmin Moor. The one intermediate halt is at Colesloggett Halt, built by the BWR in 1993 to serve a Farm Park (now closed), and provides access to a network of footpaths through the Cardinham Woods, belonging to the Forestry Commission. The trip takes 25 minutes each way. Upon reaching Bodmin General station, the headquarters of the railway, trains reverse to take the line to Boscarne Junction. This lies on the former London and South Western Railway route to Wadebridge and Padstow, which now forms the Camel Trail alongside the River Camel. The railway has aspirations to extend alongside this foot/cyclepath towards Wadebridge in the future. SignallingThe railway is controlled by lower quadrant semaphore signals. Access to the Network Rail mainline at Bodmin is controlled by a lever frame, under the supervision of NR's Lostwithiel signal box.Dining TrainsFor a Sunday lunch or evening meal with a difference, whether for a special event, anniversary or just a night out, why not try the Cornish Belle, Our First Class Luxury Dining Train…? |
