Today is the day - here is the programme.
A Celebration of 40 years of The Cornwall Railway Society
To celebrate our anniversary we are touring the Bodmin & Wenford Railway aboard the ex-Chiltern Class 121 “bubble car” unit. By arrangement with the Bodmin & Wenford Railway this tour will allow participants to access some areas not normally seen by the general public. You are reminded of the need to be aware of safety issues at all times, particularly when leaving or joining the train and when on the track.
