    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.

    Back in the Mid 80's I was asked if I wanted to be KC's 2nd Engineer if she went to the Dart - she didnt for another 30 years.

    The offer came from Roy Barclay, ex 2nd E Bristol Queen who had been offered the KC job.

    Needless to say I wasnt going to get Brass Buttons I was just going to be a glorified stoker & coal humper..............

    Been down the P&D on Friday and 4110 was out and then swapped for 37703 on the last two round trips due to fire risk.

    It's been posted elsewhere that 37275 will be used on the same trains both Saturday and Sunday, presumably 4110 out again until 3ish, 7827 was also at Paignton. 5239 in the shed at Churston with 4247 and 75014 in the paintshop siding.

    We enjoyed a superb day at the P&DSR yesterday for what was billed as the final day in service for 75014. The loco looked and sounded wonderful. Can't wait until the loco re-emerges with a new boiler certificate.

    Many thanks to all staff and volunteers at the railway. <BJ>
