South Devon Railway

This is a stunning steam railway journey. A proper trip down memory lane. We enjoyed travelling in the buffet car , watching the world go by. The river Dart alongside the train line. The staff and volunteers were very friendly and helpful. It was money very well spent.

Hi all just been on the South Devon Railway. It's a must, I brought a group with me and the whole experience was great. Staff fantastic help on and off the train fantastic. Refreshments available on train and also at station.I made this trip many many years ago and the whole experience is as good as it was then.Well done boys and girls and all associated with this line.

Fantastic experience, even if you are not into the Steam Train era, it's an achievement in its self to protect our heritage, the carriages are just as l remember from when l was a child. Dog friendly and the staff are very helpful. The added bonus is easy free parking and a Butterfly and Otter Sanctuary.

A fantastic trip on a comfortable well restored train. Lovely scenery in both directions. A lovely little museum at the station and a second small but informative museum about the Lee Moor railway in the garden and a lovely riverside path to explore and cafe for a cuppa while waiting for the train to arrive. Well worth a visit.

Decided to have a rest day and let someone else take the strain. Lovely ride on a steam railway in stunning countryside leaving buckfast you want to be on the right side for the best views. Staff are all really friendly and helpful as my wife is in a wheelchair they are always trying hard to make sure everything if perfect and they did.

Another great day out on the railways if Devon. This trip was from Buckfastleigh to Totnes and back. Beautiful views along the line; I would recommend riding in the end carriage if it is available as the views are tremendous.A well maintained Railway with regular services and friendly staff.We also visited the cafe at Buckfastleigh fir an enjoyable meal.

A wonderful shop, cafe and museum, as well as the steam train. The later trains were quiet and we had a choice of several lovely carriages to sit in. The train buffet served great hot chocolate and coffee. A Wonderful day out, worth every penny. We had the multi trip ticket for only £5 more and went up and down twice in the day.

Lovely trip on the South Devon Railway.. Always a delight to travel at a gentle path by steam, in this case along the River Dart.. We walked into Totnes for a few hours which always has a nice relaxed feel & then hopped on the train back.. Lovely staff and a great cafe and model shop to visit too.. Loads of parking..

The South Devon railway at Buckfastleigh station. Really quite a nice place to visit considering it's freeYou can catch an old steam train or an old diesel train and travel along the railway from Buckfastleigh for £18 per adult and £12.50 per child.There is a cafe at the station and also a free museum if you care to look. There is also a Riverside walk a miniature railway a model railway and a model railway shop all for you to enjoy on site.Parking is shared by the otter and butterfly sanctuary but there is ample space for everybody with room for over 200 cars.A visit to the Polar Express can also be discovered here and I would definitely take the kids as it was amazing and I'm an adult.The staff here with friendly and happy to help and even took time to pose for a photograph outside the station itself, bravo gentlemen.

What a lovely day out! For me as a massive train enthusiast, it was perfect - the train was really comfortable, and the journey was nice and relaxing along the river dart. The wheelchair access, I feel I should mention, was good, as me my mum and my dad had a whole part of the buffet car to almost ourselves! ( the buffet car is one of the accessible coaches) overall a really lovely experience, lots ro do and a, like I said, lovely day our! Also, being a model railway fan, there was the biggest railway shop known to mankind! There was all you could ever need for a layout! The prices were quite reasonable too.
