Bodmin North formerly Bodmin
(1834 - 1886 1895 - 1967)
When the Bodmin and Wadebridge Railway opened on July 4 1834, trains could only run as far as a temporary terminus at Dunmere, the station at Bodmin not being opened until September 30 1834
From November 1 1886 to November 1 1895, the station was closed to allow for a realignment of the railway at Dunmere, replacing a level crossing with an overbridge, and complete renewal of the track.
The station had a single platform face containing the station building and a canopy. South of the platform, there was access to a siding and a cattle dock. In addition, there was a siding serving a goods shed.
There was also a link to a private siding for the nearby gas works
The station was renamed Bodmin North in 1949 to differentiate it from Bodmin General
Freight facilities were withdrawn on July 24 1964 although by this time the lines to the cattle dock had already been lifted on May 10 1964 and those to the Gas Works on February 20 1964
The station and all facilities closed on January 30 1967 and the station was completely demolished and the site is now occupied by a car park
