The Last Train to Callington - FULL VIDEO

Bere Alston to Callington was one of those beautiful LSWR lines cutting through some of the most vivid terrain in Devon and Cornwall. This long awaited documentary features the journey with unique archive footage, rare photographs and modern day aerials to show the route of the trackbed.

In 1966, the section from Callington to Gunnislake was cut short, and Luckett, Latchley and Chilsworthy, as stations in between, were axed as a result of cut backs. But, thanks to amateur cinematographers such as John Sandercock, we are able to reconstruct those nostalgic days of steam and early diesels to tell the story.
