The Station Today
The station building is extant and was used as a cycle hire shop but now, it houses the offices of Padstow Town Council. The cycle hire shop has been moved to a new building on the other side of the car park. The trackbed leading into Padstow now forms part of the Camel Trail, a recreational route for walkers, cyclists and horse riders.
In September 2007, the Bodmin and Wenford Railway announced plans to rebuild the North Cornwall Line from Bodmin Road (now known as Bodmin Parkway, the nearest train station to Padstow now) as far as Wadebridge, following the line of the Camel Trail. The plans have raised speculation as to whether, if realised, they could lead to a further connection to Padstow.

Famous quotes containing the words station and/or today:
“When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“Nobody can resist a ripe idea. The idea today is change.”
—Tansu Ciller (b. 1946)
