Thursday 26th December to Wednesday 1st January - includes Boxing Day and New Years Day!
Looking for something to do after Christmas Day has been and gone? The South Devon Railway has the perfect day out for everyone with heritage steam trains running from Thursday 26th December 2024 until Wednesday 1st January 2025, right through the New Years weekend for the whole of the festive period.
Trains operate between Buckfastleigh station, where this is a large free car park, ideally situated just off the A38, and Totnes Riverside station, which is just a short walk to Totnes National Rail station and Totnes Town.
All of our trains are due to be hauled by a heritage steam locomotive, and will feature a buffet on board serving hot and cold drinks, light refreshments and snacks. Beer, cider and wine are also available from our on-train buffet.
Trains will be running to the timetable below. Tickets are on sale now and can be booked in advance via our website. Our normal fares apply.
Our Winter Steam Gala takes place between Friday 3rd and Sunday 5th January 2025. Click here for more details.
