The South Devon Railway has announced that they will be running a special steam train to commemorate the last BR train between Ashburton and Totnes.

The last passenger train under British Railways Western Region ran between Ashburton and Totnes on the first Saturday in November in 1958.

To mark this anniversary, the heritage railway is running a special steam train on the 3rd November 2018. It will leave at 7:58 pm and will return from Totnes at the same time it did 60 years ago, bringing passengers back at 9:21 pm.

Tickets are on sale now through the SDR website at the usual return fare of £15. Simply select Sat November 3rd, 2018 as your travel date.

If you’re visiting us earlier in the day and want to make multiple trips you’ll need a Rover Ticket for our November Diesel Gala.

The railway museum will be open from 6:30 pm.
