Bodmin railway station in 1964
Picture of Bodmin train station, Cornwall, England.
There are several (former) railway station serving Bodmin, the one that is currently still in use is Bodmin Parkway.
However, I think that this is Bodmin General, though I could be wrong. Bodmin General was the terminus on the Great Western Railway's Bodmin Branch line. It opened in 1887 and closed again in 1983, though the passenger service was cancelled earlier in 1967.
It was rescued and opened again in 1986 by heritage railway Bodmin and Wenford Steam Railway.

It connected at Boscarne with the Bodmin Road, Bodmin General, Wadebridge and Padstow line, which also closed in January 1967.
