Bodmin General remained a terminus, so trains running through had to reverse here and retrace their journey for a few yards before bearing right just beyond the station.

The single-sided platform had two adjacent lines, the nearer being used as a run-round and the further being furnished with a goods shed beyond which another curving siding served a cattle dock.

At the end of the platform was the signal box and beyond this were two sidings, one housing an engine shed; the junction being on the running line immediately beyond this.

[3] Freight services were withdrawn from Bodmin General on 1 May 1967 and the signal box closed later that year.

The line officially closed on 3 October 1983 following the demise of freight traffic from Wenford.
