Torbay Express
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Torbay Express is a named passenger train operating in the United Kingdom.
[edit] Great Western Railway
Historically, the Torbay Express name was applied to services operated by the Great Western Railway from London Paddington to Torquay and Paignton.
[edit] Revival
In recent years, the name had been reused for a passenger charter steam locomotive service which runs on certain summer Sundays and some Saturdays, each year from Bristol Temple Meads, via Weston-super-Mare to Torquay, Paignton and Kingswear. The Torbay Express is operated by Past-Time Rail.
The service has used the GWR 6000 Class 6024 King Edward I, GWR 7800 Class 7802 Bradley Manor and LNER Class A4 60009 Union of South Africa locomotives.
