Boscarne Exchange Platform
(1964 - 1966 1966 - 1967)
The platforms here were completed in May 1964, and from 15 June that year the passenger service between Bodmin North and Wadebridge was truncated at Boscarne Junction, passengers from Bodmin North
using a shuttle service operated by a railbus, also serving Dunmere Halt, to travel as far as Boscarne
In order for passengers to change trains, British Railways built a station, one of the smallest in England. Alongside the line to Bodmin North it had a small patch of clear ground, sometimes described as a Ground- or Rail-Level platform, to allow the railbus to lower the ladder fitted below the passenger door, while there was one small platform at a more normal height which was long enough for just one coach situated on the line to Bodmin General. There was no shelter, no public access, no tickets, and initially no lighting
The station, referred to in the timetable as Boscarne Exchange Platform, closed on April 18 1966 when two trains daily from Bodmin General reversed at the junction, travelling to Dunmere Halt and Bodmin North before returning and continuing on to Wadebridge. It reopened on May 2 1966 before closing with the line on January 30 1967
Nothing exists of the former platform
