Mixed Traction Weekend

South Devon Railway Mixed Traction Weekend

Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st June 2026

A late addition to our event calendar, this weekend features a feast of steam and diesel trains, and will also see the first runs of visiting locomotive TKh 5374 “Lord Oliver Brown” on the South Devon Railway.

Event highlights:

• Steam and diesel trains operating – 3 locomotives in use each day (5374, 1369 and 25262).
• 5 round trips of diesel haulage behind Class 25 25262.
• Visiting locomotive 5374 Lord Oliver Brown on hire from the Plym Valley Railway with kind thanks to owner Marc Bellin.
• Demonstration freight trains.
• Rare opportunity for a brake van ride behind 5374 for Ranger ticket holders – additional fee applies which will be donated to Children’s Hospice South West.
• On-train bar, including local ale on tap.
• Behind the scenes access to some SDR facilities.

Trains run each day, starting at 0945 and finishing after 1800. The working timetable is available now here including final loco allocations. Please be aware these are subject to alteration at short notice should operational circumstances require it, however we will endeavour to run all services as advertised.

This event provides a great value day out as our normal ticket prices apply – purchase a Ranger for unlimited all day travel behind all of our locomotives.
