A Simple Guide to Booking for Bodmin Railway

We know our new booking system can feel a little confusing — we’re currently working on making it much easier for you. In the meantime, here’s a simple step-by-step guide to help you book your tickets without any stress!   (Blue Timetable – until the end of June)

Step 1: Choose Your Date of Travel

Select your preferred travel date from the calendar.

Our Daily Service train dates will be highlighted in green.

Step 2: Choose Your Ticket Type

Next, choose the type of journey you would like:

• Single – A one-way journey to one station (no return).

• Return – Travel from Bodmin General and return back to Bodmin General.

• Circular – Travel down both of our branch lines and experience the full Y-shaped railway.

Did You Know?

We are the only railway in the country with two different branch lines running from our main station.

Our line is Y-shaped, meaning trains leave from Bodmin General and travel along two separate branches:

• One towards Boscarne Junction

• One towards Bodmin Parkway

That’s why our booking system asks you to select multiple stations — it’s showing you the full Y-shaped journey.

Step 3: Choose Your Departure Station

When booking online, select “Bodmin General” first.

This is the main station where the train departs from.

Step 4: Select Your Route Options

After choosing Bodmin General, you will then need to select:

1. Boscarne Junction

2. Bodmin Parkway

Choosing these options allows the system to display the full journey and available departure times.

Step 5: Check Departure Times

Once you’ve selected:

• Bodmin General

• Boscarne Junction

• Bodmin Parkway

You will then be shown the available train departure times for your chosen day.

Simply select the time that suits you and complete your booking.
