Such things happened, once upon a time, a long, long time ago. Title: Re: Where was I today and when did travel on it by train?

Wadebridge Junction. Now AIUI the line closed it January 1967. I remember going on a train from Wadebridge to Bodmin (and back) with a guide giving a commentary on a portable PA system along the route. It was a DMU. I think it was after formal closure which would have put it in August 1967, however it could have been in 1966. I don't think it was a one off perhaps a short series for the summer season. Does anyone know anymore? Title: Re: Where was I today and when did travel on it by train?
