This February will see steam on our preserved railways during the half term week. The Bodmin and Wenford Railway will be running steam services from 17th to 22nd inclusive, and the South Devon Railway is running a branch line gala from 16th to 24th inclusive with the steam railmotor and the 1369 pannier tank (of Wenford Bridge fame) at weekends and auto trains using 1450 and 5542 on all days during the gala. Not to be outdone, the Paignton and Kingswear line is now starting its season with steam on 16th February and runs to the end of that month (not 25th) and beyond although not every day in March. So why not dispel those winter blues!
The Lappa Valley Railway opens on 27th March, and the Plym Valley line is running on 31st March; another chance to ride to Plym Bridge Halt.
