Come and
enjoy Cornwall's Premier Steam Railway Experience
Trains
operate from Bodmin
General
- the line’s main station where free car and coach parking is
available - to Bodmin Parkway - where connections can be
made directly with main line railway services - and Boscarne Junction
on the popular Camel Trail.
Our main
station at Bodmin General is situated on the B3268 Lostwithiel Road,
approximately half a mile from the centre of Bodmin, and well signposted
from the A38/A30/A389 leading into the town – just follow the brown
tourist signs with the steam engine logo. Alternatively, you can travel by
main line train to Bodmin Parkway, where cross platform interchange with
our trains is available. Bodmin is around 27 miles from Truro, 33 miles
from Plymouth and 23 miles from Newquay and conveniently situated in the
heart of Cornwall, accessible from both the north and south coasts.
Passenger
train services operate between February and December, and run daily from
late May to early October. There are normally between
four and eight return trains each day between Bodmin General and Bodmin
Parkway/Boscarne Junction.
Whilst
the majority
of trains are operated by one of our Steam locomotives, we also have a
collection of Diesel locomotives, which haul trains on some Saturdays
throughout the year.
There
is a Buffet at both Bodmin General and Bodmin Parkway stations, and most
services have a Buffet and Bar on board the train. There is also a gift
shop at Bodmin General.
Special
events are also held throughout the year – Steam and Diesel Galas,
Steaming Thru the 40s,
Themed
weekends
and
several family-orientated events, including an “Easter Egg-travaganza”
and the visits of Paddington Bear, Fireman Sam & Peppa Pig to
Bodmin!

The
Railway also operates a number of steam-hauled special trains through
the season – including ‘Murder Mystery Evening Specials’, ‘Steam Beer
& Jazz’ trains, a Luxury Dining Train and, during December, our very
popular Santa by Steam specials.
The Bodmin & Wenford Railway looks forward to welcoming you.
Come and experience Cornwall’s railway heritage at its very best
– a great “attracktion”
for all the family! |
