Non Stop Running on the Paignton & Dartmouth Rails
Roger Winnen
From 6th July 2020 The Paignton & Dartmouth Railway has introduced a service of six non stop trains a day running between Paignton and Kingswear and return, every day except Fridays.
Departures from Paignton 10.00 11.10 12.20 14.00 15.10 16.20
Departures from Kingswear 10.30 11.40 12.50 14.30 15.40 17.10
A number of hours were spent on the line today, however Goodrington Station and Churston Stations were locked up and a lineside fire resulted in the cancellation the 5th train of the day, passengers were then directed to the 120 bus service from Kingswear to Paignton which came to the rescue to carry the load.
