Callington railway station (Template:Langx) was a railway station in the village of Kelly Bray, Script error: No such module "convert". north of the centre of the small town of Callington, Cornwall. It was the terminus of a branch line from Bere Alston, built by the Plymouth, Devonport and South Western Junction Railway, but operated by the London and South Western Railway. The station closed in 1966.[1] The Tamar Valley Line still operates services from Bere Alston, with services terminating at Gunnislake railway station, Script error: No such module "convert". to the east of Callington.
The now-closed section of line north of Gunnislake was remote from local communities and provided a relatively slow journey compared with the competing roads, which limited its use. (Callington had good bus services to Saltash and Plymouth, but the landscape denied that to Gunnislake.) Ironically, the alignment and gradients of that part of the line were better than the surviving section south of Gunnislake.[2] After closure the station was demolished and the site is now occupied by industrial units.
