Title: Yuletide Torbay Express - Sat 6, 13, 20 and Sun 21 Dec 2008
Post by: Chris from Nailsea on October 21, 2008, 20:31:09
The summer may be a distant memory but the spirit of the Torbay Express lives on this coming December. The Yuletide Torbay Express is an ideal way to prepare for the Christmas season - join family and friends on board for a magical steam hauled journey into the past with the excitement of a pantomime at Kingswear, a magic show, mulled wine and mince pie.

Starting at Bristol (Temple Meads) just after breakfast-time and stopping to pick up passengers at Weston super Mare, Taunton and Exeter, ^The Torbay Express^ takes the spectacular coastal route to Paignton via Torquay and then onto the Paignton & Dartmouth Steam Railway to Kingswear (for Dartmouth) for an afternoon on the South Devon Riviera.
