    The railway was featured in River Walks on BBC where they took the train rather than walking the full Dart. Still on iplayer.
    Don't think it was an auto train used?.

    The distance from Buckfastleigh to Totnes is only about eight miles; the Dart from its headwaters, east and west, on Dartmoor to the sea is over forty six miles.

    What special provisions are there in the operating rule book to facilitate this push pull running?

    Driver and Firemen on the footplare and Driver in the driving trailer? After the fiasco on the Dean Forest railway when a level crossing gate was demolished I can’t imagine any preserved railway woould want to run as they did in years gone by on the Big Railway.

    The SDR can run with two people who are trained in Auto Operation as it always has done. Beleive the SVR can too?

    I suppose that is the difference. And the fact that the regulator was controlled from the footplate on the Dean Forest.
