Our unique “Hastings”; diesel train is operating a day excursion, the West Country Cruiser railtour, from Hastings to Exeter on this date. Whilst the train is in Devon we will be offering a rare opportunity to travel along the Exeter – Barnstaple ‘Tarka’ Line in a fomer Southern Region DEMU.
As many will know, this line to Barnstaple once formed part of a network of Southern lines in the West Country that extended to Plymouth, Ilfracombe, Bude, Padstow, but it is now a picturesque branch line in its own right.
This run will be an out-and-back special trip along the branch,
departing from Exeter Central,
then picking up at Exeter St. Davids. Once at Barnstaple
return will be immediate, running back only as far as Exeter
St. Davids.
Our train has a buffet car, from which hot & cold drinks and other refreshments may be purchased.
Fare: £10 return; £7 single (no child
or other concessions).
Family fare: £20 return (up to two adults and
two children)
No need to book in advance — Pay on the train
Smoking is not permitted in any part of our train.
Please note that this trip runs from and to Exeter St. Davids station only.
These are the official timings for this trip:
