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.

PLEASE NOTE: The railway will be operating a Steam, Beer & Jazz train on this evening and participants in the CRS tour may be able to avail themselves of real ale, etc. at Bodmin General. If seats are available it may also be possible (on payment of the fare) to join the Steam, Beer and Jazz train which departs at 19.00.
For CRS members wishing to return to Bodmin Parkway for main line connections, the special train will depart Bodmin General at 19.25 (after departure of the jazz train) to Bodmin Parkway, arriving 19.40 (for train connections to Penzance 19.54 and 20.08 and Plymouth 20.05)
IT IS IMPORTANT that we adhere to the above timetable in order to fit in with other railway activities. Please return promptly to our bubble car after each stop. Members wishing to disembark from the train to look around the Parkway shed or to visit the Walker Lines sidings will need to use a ladder to exit and reboard
the train. Please take great care when doing this.
The Cornwall Railway Society is most grateful to the management, staff and volunteers of the Bodmin and Wenford Railway for providing this special train and allowing access to railway facilities. Raffle tickets will be on sale for those wishing to contribute towards the BWR's plans to construct a second platform and external station canopy at Bodmin General station.
We hope you will have an enjoyable afternoon and evening and we look forward to your continuing support of our society.
Wishing you all a good day
