Now this line is actually in the West Country
Wow, the South Devon Railway (At Buckfastleigh) have succesfully done it once again.
This Wonderfully Splendid West Country Branch Line Heritage Railway (As with other fellow Heritage Railways across the British Isles) is doing even much better at it’s fundraising role in Combating the Covid-Pandemic.
I still hope to visit & wishfully ride the route of the SDR ‘in-person’ someday… To Me (I Myself) the South Devon Railway is still one of the msot interesting and Well-Restored Branch Line Heritage Railways & Transportation Destinations I have ever come
Across.
