SOUTH DEVON RAILWAY Half Term Trains 2011

A BR(W) Auto trainDiesel railcar 55000

Over the half term week we are running our standard four train service on a daily basis from Sunday 20th February through to Sunday 27th February inclusive.
In the best GWR branch line tradition we are using steam push and pull "auto trains" - where the locomotive could be driven from a driving compartment in the carriage. In the 1950's and '60's these were replaced by new era British Railways diesel railcars which we will be using on the three Saturdays 5th, 12th and 19th March.  On Sundays 6th, 13th and 20th March services will be provided by a BR(W) auto train.

Our full steam service then starts on Saturday 26th March though Monday 28th March and Friday 1st April are the diesel railcar.

Remember that with no leaves on the trees, February is a great time to see our scenic line!
