Callington railway station
Callington railway station was a railway station in the village of Kelly Bray, north of the centre of the small town of Callington, Cornwall. It was the terminus of a branch line from Bere Alston, built by the Plymouth, Devonport and South Western Junction Railway, but operated by the London and South Western Railway. The station closed in 1966. The Tamar Valley Line still operates services from Bere Alston, with services terminating at Gunnislake railway station, to the east of Callington.
The now-closed section of line north of Gunnislake was remote from local communities and provided a relatively slow journey compared with the competing roads, which limited its use. Ironically, the alignment and gradients of that part of the line were better than the surviving section south of Gunnislake.
