- Опубліковано 4 лис 2021
- Our train has just meandered along the pretty branch line from Buckfastleigh to Totnes Riverside, built to allow heritage trains to serve Totnes via a new footbridge over the River Dart without incurring the costs and complications resulting from South Devon Railway trains using the British-Rail station, although it was interesting to see the heritage trains using the same platform as their main-line cousins between 5th April 1985 and the 2nd September 1987.
Totnes Riverside station utilised the buildings from Toller station on the now closed Bridport branch.

We watch GWR 2-6-2T small ‘Prairie’ No.5542 run round its train for the trip back to Buckfastleigh, before climbing aboard to enjoy more views of the River Dart from a vantage point normally only available to the footplate crew.
The railway is a standard gauge line, (1,435 mm - 4 ft 8 1⁄2 in) located in the South, West of England, easily accessible from the A38 Devon Expressway or by main-line GWR trains from London and the West Country, regular CrossCountry trains from the North and Midlands also serve Totnes.

Thank you to the staff and volunteers of the South Devon Railway for their kind assistance in making this video.
Thanks for some happy memories of a holiday spent in the Buckfastleigh area in 2010when I was a mere stripling of 78!
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Enjoyed very much. Excellent photography. Thanks Dave
What wonderful landscapes! Those who board this train never need a destination. They are images far beyond imagination, where time takes time to pass, providing us with stories from fiction books and adventures. Congratulations on your choice!
As in the first part, excellent quality with professional technology. Thank you very much!
There is nothing like the sight of a field of solar panels to jar you back to the 21st century!
How beautiful it is!!!!
Great video, Tim...thank you for sharing!!
Thanks Tim, that was an excellent video. Full of your signature quality and soundscape. Only the scent of the nearby fields, livestock and woodlands was missing for a fully immersive experience! Peter
Tim, thanks for the very relaxing video. It really takes one back when life was simpler and not as hectic! Sorry it’s been awhile since I commented on a video.
Thanks indeed for the ride down memory train. In 1972 and 1973 I worked a 2 week volunteer stint at the railway as part of a group of students from East Herts College. Wonderful memories indeed. Loved doing the work. The route seems a lot less "straggly" than it was back then. Also we did get to enjoy sitting on the buffers of the loco when we went to Totnes to move a lot of rail from the BR 'side' of things to the DVR side.
Thanks for the drivers eye view Tim,the railway is so beautiful running along the river Dart. Beautiful sounding Praire
This was a lovely trip along the river Dart and scenic countryside, people waving, the train sounding so comforting that it makes me sleepy. Well it's after 10pm here, so no wonder. Thank you Tim, much appreciated. 💖👍🏻✨
Beautiful footage!
Ya doo'd it again, Tim! Another great driver's-eye-view train ride video!
Amazing train ride and nice landscapes! Good work Tim! Thumbs Up
Bala from Chennai India. Love your videos and following regularly. Feeling relaxed. Looks England is a beautiful country.
Hi Tim! Great video, fine quality. A gifted locksmith was at work on this steam engine. You can hear it from the steady steam. It is seldom that someone else can adjust so well, we say (Indizieren). Good news Tim, I have now been vaccinated too (Pfizer). Best regards from Hans 🇦🇹 Cheers 🍻
what a fascintating place to visit
killer video brother!!! looks so nice on the huge studio monitor.
