The Mystery of the Lost Driver
Saturday 26th October

The haunted Plym Valley has been subject to many unexplained disappearances since the line was re-built. Several train crews have vanished leaving locomotives abandoned. Hear one of the tales well known to the railway while on board our train. Surely the trip will be plain sailing? There’s no such thing as haunted?

What locomotives ? I thought that DMUs (Diesel Multiple Unit) distributed power were the latest thing.

A proper intercity train has a minimum of 8 coaches, gangwayed throughout, with first at one end, and a full sized buffet car between first and standard.
It has space for cycles, surfboards,luggage etc.
A 5 car DMU (Diesel Multiple Unit) is not a proper inter-city train. The 5+5 and 9 car DMUs are almost as bad.
