    Usual joined up railway
    XC says use GWR RRB
    GWR data implies better to use local bus where ticket acceptance is in place.

    Rumours of arson, but nothing substantiated.

    Well, the station roof may have been on fire also, but in the bottom picture above it sure looks like something in the footbridge is on fire.

    Are the DSR affected by this? As I recall, their station is separate from, but adjacent to, the mainline station?

    Hey all,

    during my vacation in southern england, I paid a visit to the Dartmouth Steam Railway. Attached you will find my video of that day (sorry for the german video title).

    Enjoy watching it and have a great day!

    Not many coal fired 100 year old pleasure steamers have an engine 20 years older ! It is coaled from the railway coalstack at Kingswear station.
