Bodmin & Wenford Railway has announced the buffet at Bodmin Parkway station is due to reopen on November 19.

The buffet at Bodmin Parkway is under the management of the heritage steam railway. It was originally closed in early 2020 due to COVID-19, and remained closed whilst undergoing a major refurbishment.

The buffet is now trading under the name of the Cornish Rail Coffee Co., bringing it into line with the coffee shop at Bodmin General.
