What visitors say
We came for the Teddy Bear Picnic and had the most lovely day out. A magical experience start to finish, with a clean, tidy, cozy-feeling station at both ends, and friendly and approachable volunteers at every point of the experience. First time ever on a steam train; kids loved it, and it was long enough for them to enjoy the ride but not long enough for the dreaded boredom to kick in. Very reasonable pricing, good timings in both directions, and a very cool little museum and gift shop, both of which simply oozed nostalgia, timelessness, and Englishness

Lots of building work being done to improve the station plenty of volunteer staff around, but could have done with better organization Great value bacon rolls in the Buffet :) A relatively new heritage line, but with some work over the next few years it will hopefully turn into something great.

Such a brilliant railway, so much love and attention to detail put in. We’ve just had a birthday party on the train, it was so reasonably priced and the hard working volunteers couldn’t do enough for us. They really put everything into making our day special and we all had the best time. Thanks so much to all the team for such a fun day! Well worth doing this for a kids birthday party, you won’t regret it. We’ll be back again if you’ll have us :)

My wife had a drive a train experience booked on this railway. The staff, who I found out to be all 100% volunteers, were some of the most friendly and helpful staff to find on any preserved line. We had the most excellent day and it was well worth the travel down from South Yorkshire to spend a few hours there. If you are in and around Plymouth we recommend a visit, but check they are open first! A great day and a great railway, keep up the excellent work guys! We'll be back......
