The Dartmouth Steam Railway

In the heyday of the Great Western Railway the’Torbay Express’ ran from London’s Paddington Station to Torquay, Paignton and Kingswear where a GWR operated ferry took travellers to a station, without rails, across the water at Dartmouth. Nowadays diesel hauled Great Western trains terminate at Paignton, but across the platform memories of those halcyon days live on, courtesy of the Dartmouth Steam Railway which operates steam hauled trains along the Paignton to Kingswear branch in true Great Western Railway tradition.
