JULY
The Torbay Express - This is one of the most Extraordinary and Scenic Railway Journeys in Europe. BBC Television hired helicopters to home-in on ‘The Torbay Express’ for its award-winning programme ‘Coast’ last year, showing some wonderful aerial sequences of GWR ‘King’ No.6024 King Edward I ducking and diving around the red-sandstone inlets and coves, and bobbing between the tunnels along the sea wall near Teignmouth. That really wasn’t a surprise, for the steam-hauled ‘Torbay Express’ and the old GWR ‘West of England Main Line’ together make one of the most enchanting railway journeys anywhere in the world, and after seven consecutive summers of operation, the train now enjoys full ‘celebrity’ status.
Sundays: 6th, 13th, 20th & 27th July
Passes Dawlish Warren at approximately: 11.20am and returns at 6.20pm
