THE TORBAY EXPRESS Updated
Past Time's very popular Torbay Express will once again be operating between Bristol Temple Meads and Kingswear (for Dartmouth) every Sunday from 6 July to 28 September 2008 inclusive. 6024 has been diagrammed to share these services with one or two other engines, including 5029 Nunney Castle. The train will call to pick-up and set down at Weston-super-Mare, Taunton and Exeter St Davids, before traversing the famous Dawlish sea wall to Newton Abbot and then around the Torbay coast through Torquay to Paignton, finally taking the Paignton and Dartmouth Railway line through Churston to the terminus station at Kingswear on the banks of the River Dart. Return from Kinsgwear will be late afternoon by the same route. The trains are steam hauled throughout in both directions. The engine allocation for these trains will be announced in due course. These trains will be very popular. Book early to avoid disappointment.
