An Award Winning Destination for Disabled Vistors

All our stations are suitable for access by disabled people who are warmly welcomed.

There is plenty of car parking at Buckfastleigh. Our trains have disabled access and reserved spaces for wheelchair users.

Buckfastleigh station is the best starting point for your journey as we have easy, flat access and parking very close to the platform.

Our station at Totnes is only accessible via a footpath link and is some 464 yards from the nearest parking at Totnes National Rail station.

Please note that our dining trains do not have reserved spaces for wheelchair using passengers and the doors of the dining train carriages are narrower than the width of standard wheelchairs. However, we would urge you to contact us so we can help meet your specific requirements.

Award winners!

The South Devon Railway and the Totnes Rare Breeds Farm have been jointly honoured for being one of the best family venues in the UK for people with disabilities. The two attractions were Highly Commended alongside Legoland Windsor, the Alnwick Garden in Co Durham and the Eden Project in Cornwall at the Rough Guide to Accessible Britain Awards 2010.

Mystery shoppers were so impressed with the two venues they were jointly shortlisted in the Best Family Venue category despite having a fraction of the visitors of the other category finalists. The top award in the category was won by the Science Museum in London.
