Railway 200 Drive A Train Day

Have you ever wanted to drive a train and learn more about the railway industry? During the 200th anniversary year why not join us on 27 July for a day of learning about the railway industry. Under the careful supervision of our crews take to the rails and enjoy an introduction to driving. We will be offering the chance to see how the role of a driver has developed from locomotive hauled operations to Diesel Multiple Units similar to those that run on the mainline to date!

The Plym Valley Railway was founded in 1980 with an aim of restoring part of the ex-
On December 30th 2012 Plym Bridge Platform was opened to the public. This marked 50 years and a day since the line was closed, and also the completion of the laying of 1.5 miles of track. On selected days we run train services from Marsh Mills to Plym Bridge.
Marsh Mills is a heritage railway centre where we are preserving steam and diesel locomotives, carriages, wagons and other historic railway artefacts to recreate the atmosphere of a bygone age.
The railway is always looking for new and enthusiastic volunteers in all departments, including motive power, permanent way, carriage and wagon, building and works, fundraising and retail outlets– for further details please ask the staff in the Buffet.

Sunday will see services hauled by steam and diesel with Saturday being diesel only. We are looking forward to welcoming Albert back after repairs! Book Now at: www.plymrail.co.uk
