Boscarne Junction
(1887 - 1983 1997 -)


Boscarne Junction was created in September 1887 when the GWR opened a line connecting from their station in Bodmin to the Bodmin and Wadebridge Railway

The purpose of the GWR line was to take china clay from Wenford clay dries to the docks at Fowey, the traffic having previously been taken by the LSWR to Wadebridge

Originally, there was a single siding used for the exchange of traffic between the GWR and L&SWR

The line to Wadebridge closed on December 17 1978 and the junction closed completely on October 3 1983 but trains returned to Boscarne Junction in 1997 when the Bodmin and Wenford Steam Railway built a platform and began operating trains from Bodmin General
