Mince Pie Specials - see the new year in!

The South Devon Railway is running ‘Mince Pie’ special steam trains over five days from Wednesday 30th December right through to Sunday 3rd January inclusive to welcome the New Year in style.

The Mince Pie special trains have plenty of seats available and don’t need to be pre-booked.

The trains provide a relaxing trip back in time in railway carriages drawn by a real steam engine down the glorious valley of the River Dart with great unimpaired views now that the leaves have fallen, plus occasional glimpses of canoeists battling with the water torrents.

As well as the mince pies and hot and cold drinks in the on train buffet car, there are more substantial snacks available as well at Buckfastleigh Station’s refreshment rooms for hungrier guests. The gift shop and refreshment rooms are open every day right through January.

The Mince Pie specials adult round trip fare is £9.90 for adults, £9.20 for seniors and £5.90 for children, with family tickets (two adults plus two children) at £28.00.
