    Any confirmation on loco directions? Last I knew 3205 was facing Buckfastleigh and 6412 Totnes, but what about the other three? Am I right to assume they'll all face Totnes?

    1369 & 3205 face Buckfastleigh.
    6412 & 5542 face Totnes (when on auto trains they pull to Totnes and push to Buckfastleigh)
    30587 arrives tomorrow-will post again when I see which way round it is.

    Go to the railway website where you will find the working timetable. Where the train set is shown as A(1) or A(2) that is an auto.
    Briefly though Autos run every day of the gala except Monday 13th.
