Dunmere Halt
(1906 - 1967)
Dunmere Halt was opened, like the halts at Grogley and Nanstallon, on July 2 1906 in association with the railmotor service between Bodmin North and Wadebridge
The type of the original platform at Dunmere is unknown, but in the 1960s it was made of concrete with a pagoda-type shelter. The halt was situated in a shallow cutting, and access was by a short footpath sloping down from the A389 overbridge which was situated at one end of the platform
The rail motor service made 14 trips each day with this reducing to 8 trains each way in 1938 and there were 5 trains each way in 1965. Basically it was a shuttle service between Bodmin North and Boscarne Exchange Platform. By 1966 there were just 2 trains each way
The station closed to passengers on January 30 1967 when the operation of the line from Dunmere Junction to Bodmin North ceased
The platform is still in situ today and has been carefully maintained and the trackbed is now a footpath
