Ashwater
Halwill Junction
Halwill Junction had a very large complex of junctions to the north and sidings to the south of the station. Going north out of the station the lines straight ahead went to Bude. The 'witherered arm', the line to Launceston, Wadebridge and ultimately Padstow turned off sharp to the west. Some distance further on the branch through to Torrington, which had its own terminal platform at Halwill turned off to the right, first station, Hole.
