Riding the Round Robin
With members and friends of the Cornwall Railway Society
 by Roger Winnen and John Cornelius
Members and friends travelled from all over Cornwall and Somerset to enjoy the delights of a Round Robin Ticket available on the Paignton & Dartmouth Railway, the River Dart Boat Company and the connecting Bus Service from Paignton to Totnes. We were delighted to welcome John Cornelious a regular contributor to our website who came down from Somerset for the day. It was a good mix of transport covering this our first outing of 2016 on Saturday 16th April.
