Further Notes
ACD - Wed 23/04/1941 due to bomb damage - C, CPLGB, PNM & DRS. RPSGB gives Thu 24/04/1941. Old Plymouth.UK website states, "During the wartime bombing in April 1941 the goods shed adjacent to the Station was destroyed. As a result Millbay Station was closed to passengers from Wednesday April 23rd 1941". This would suggest the bomb damage occurred earlier and the correct ACD is 23/04/1941, though it is far from conclusive.
