One or two coaches may be attached to our ordinary trains running to our published timetable

If you wish to have your function at any other time we are happy to run the train especially for you.  For example if you wanted an evening dinner for your club or party we could arrange for a 7.30pm departure from Bodmin General to travel the whole line and return at about 10pm.
