Diesels Take Over Bodmin! | Bodmin Railway Diesel Gala 2026

The diesels have taken over Bodmin! Join me at the Bodmin Railway for their 2026 Autumn Diesel Gala, with a varied selection of heritage diesel traction in action on this beautiful Cornish railway. The star of my visit was Class 31 No. 31210, making a welcome return to passenger service at Bodmin. Along the way there’s plenty more to see, including the Class 121 ‘Bubble Car’ 121020, a Gronk, some static diesel interest and, over at Bodmin Parkway, a few modern-day diesel visitors from the national network too! I also take a look around the railway, including the former Nanstallon Halt, visit the nearby Camel Trail Tea Shop and discover a certain steam locomotive trying to hide during a diesel gala… 🚂 Find out more about the Bodmin Railway, including running days, events and tickets: https://bodminrailway.co.uk Featuring: • Class 31 ‘Ped’ – 31210 • Class 121 ‘Bubble Car’ – 121020 • Class 08 ‘Gronk’ – 08444 • Class 33 ‘Crompton’ – D6515 / 33012* • Class 37 ‘Tractor’ – 37142* • Class 47 ‘Duff’ – 47306* Static locomotives seen during the day 🚂 Plan your own visit to the Bodmin Railway: https://bodminrailway.co.uk If you enjoyed the video, please consider giving it a like and subscribing to Matt’s Railway Adventures for more railway journeys, station visits, heritage railways and special events from across the UK.
