A nostalgic journey with Past Time Rail on their 'Torbay Express' trains.  These follow the now familiar route from Bristol to Kingswear and return along the Great Western main line, running across the Somerset levels over Whiteball Bank and along the Dawlish sea wall in glorious Devon.

The 'Dawlish Donkey' shuttle trains from Exeter to Paignton are also featured and we recall some of the highlights of these trains, with their varied motive power, as they run along the spectacular sea wall and coastal scenery at Dawlish Warren and Dawlish to pick up passengers.  The sight and sound of these trains stir one's imagination back to years gone by when steam was a regular sight along this route.

There are also numerous scenes of trains run by Past Time Rail over the tortuous South Devon banks between Newton Abbot and Plymouth.  Here a variety of locomotives including a Duches and Princess Royal are seen slogging up the classic gradients of Dainton, Hemerdon and Rattery banks.  These shots come from the finest collection in existence of steam over the South Devon Banks.

Past Time Rail has been at the forefront of regular steam hauled trains in South Devon for many years and theTorbay Express is the culmination of this successful formula of steam, sunshine and seaside.

If you enjoy this nostalgic look at main line steam in Devon and have not yet travelled on the Torbay Express, then perhaps this video will whet your appetite.  Full booking details are at the end of the DVD.
