This photo was taken from the road bridge crossing the line. The very bright new houses are built where the railway station used to be.

Dist:0.2km<br/>A VIP special from Plymouth to Truro was run to mark the completion of the dualling of the railway track from Probus to Burngullow. Of course prior to the 1980s it had been dual track anyway but then the bean counting accountants who ran the railway decided they could save a few quid by making the railway single line between these points. 20 plus years later it cost millions to put the track back again ! Here 3440 is seen from the fence top steaming under the bridge at Grampound Road.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Grampound Road now has a new primary school. This is the old one (I believe) and just sold judging by the estate agents signs.

Dist:0.2km<br/>"Grampound Road" is the name of the village. The village grew from nothing in the 19th century when the railway line was built and a small station was put here to serve the surrounding area. There is no longer a station at Grampound Road.

Dist:0.5km<br/>The idea is to build small workshop units in a village and hopefully local businesses will rent them and people will have employment without having to travel out of the village - hopefully!
