Whilst we will always do our best to operate the advertised services, occasionally it is necessary to substitute a diesel locomotive for steam, or steam for diesel, if there is mechanical failure etc. The South Devon Railway can accept no liability in these unavoidable cases.
– Every SDR train is planned to convey wheelchair-accessible coaches. Please contact us in advance of your visit to confirm arrangements and available space.
Buckfastleigh Site Open
Our site at Buckfastleigh is now opening every Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday from 10am to 4pm. We’d love to see you!
Whilst we cannot run trains at the moment, there’s plenty to see and learn about at Buckfastleigh station. We have a number of our steam and diesel locomotives, carriages and wagons on display, including the Lee Moor Tramway Peckett locomotive. The gardens are open, there’s a children’s playground and garden railway. You can visit the workshop viewing gallery as well as our gift and model shop. The walking route is clearly marked and designed for social distancing.
Come and have a walk around the station and get up close to our exhibits. Entry is free of charge, but we do ask for a donation (suggested £5 per person).
All exhibits are subject to the availability of stewards on the day.
