Your Letters

Feb 2010 Hello,
Just wanted to ask you if you could put some kind of "Thank you" on the web site from me to everyone for the great gift that Dick Wood presented me when I left the SDR last Friday 26th. They gave me a signed print of Dumbleton Hall puling out of Kingswear, it to me is the best print I could wish for as I was born in Kingswear and my late grandfather and two uncles worked that line when it was GWR. I can remember as a kid it being GWR so long ago. I was touched by the kindness and their generosity of every one that put towards the print, as well as the Mole Valley tokens and all who signed the card. I wish the South Devon Railway and all that work there all the very best.
Regards
Chris Cloarec-Pollard.

Sep 2009 To whom it may concern,
I visited the railway last Thursday 24th September and I would like if possible for you to pass on my thanks to all who made my first visit to your railway so interesting and informative.
All your staff working that day where both polite and professional in there approach(even the poor lady in the Cafeteria doing her best following continual power failures).
In particular would you thank the TTI for not interrupting my on train videoing and the Booking Clerk and Station Master at Totnes for entertaining me early that morning.
I would like to have spent more time back there in the afternoon but first Great Western waits for no man so I needed to be back on the train before I could thank them all.
I shall certainly be visiting again and will be passing on this view to my colleges on the SVR.
Thank you all again.
