Two ferries and two steam railway trips to Paignton and return to Dartmouth. An excellent half day adventure. Everything was good and easy to find - parking, the ferry kiosk, train ticket office. The journey along the coast to Paignton was wonderful and all the staff were so helpful. At Paignton we watched the refuelling of the locomotive. A great experience - thoroughly recommended

Absolutely lovely trip along the English Rivera.
We did Paignton to Dartmouth and absolutely enjoyed it. Dartmouth is a lovely little place and worth a visit.
Didn't do the river cruise this time but am planning too when we come back in August.
The steam train was brilliant and an absolute bargain and excellent value for money.

There are some trips I wish I could give you more than just 5 stars and this is one of them !
Simply the best Christmas train experience I have ever had !
I’m pushing 50 and a mum of 4 with train mad kids so I have been on quite a few.
It was a foul evening with heavy rain as we arrived in Paignton,however once we saw the steam train all covered in lights and felt the warmth of the cosy station buildings/shop /cafe we knew this would be a fantastic trip.
I had deliberately chosen a Thursday evening as my two sons have autism and struggle with crowds so it was lightly filled in our coach,but rest of train was busier.I had contacted the company to ask if we could be given extra space if possible and this has been generously given.
Wonderful story telling and whizzing along past beautiful landscape lit up by the best lights have ever seen on a train on the way to beautiful kingswear.
However the best was to come with the return trip back to Paignton where the locomotive,Hercules gave us a storming trip back to Paignton all accompanied with some fantastic Christmas tunes.
Thank you for just a brilliant trip !

Overall this was a fantastic experience that was thoroughly enjoyable, however could be improved. The journey to Kingswear was brilliant, the journey back felt rushed. I understand the need to keep to a timetable however the return journey was a bit strange. We slowed at places there wasn’t too much to see and sped through others. The main area was the return tunnel journey. On the outward this was magical. Coming back we rushed through and the outside lights that were used so effectively on the way out, didn’t appear to be on.
The only other “improvement” was the recorded narrative was a bit rushed in places and could have been clearer.
Having said all that a great experience.

What a brilliant experience. So impressed by the effort everyone made to make this attraction special. Took us, as 4 friends, back to our childhood . Wonderful atmosphere on the train with music, a story & decorated carriages - the lights on the outside of the carriages, engines & along the track side made this magical for the children & us - what more could you want! A big thank you to all involved.

We wanted to give a review of the Train of Lights experience with Santa. Wow, what a great time we had! The staff were super friendly, all greeting us and making it feel special. The train is lit up spectacularly, and along the journey passengers are able to view lots of specially lit characters and scenes alongside the train track. These relate to a story narrated over loud speaker in carriages throughout the journey. Our three year old daughter really enjoyed the Christmas songs which were also playing, so much so that when she hears the same songs on the radio she reminisces about the train journey. The icing on the Christmas cake was Father Christmas himself,who took time to talk to our daughter and gave her a lovely present. And adults received chocolates by the Christmas fairy which was a bonus! What a great family treat for Christmas!

I don't know if I should be sharing this, as I want to be able to get tickets next year. This experience was absolutely amazing, I though I was just going on a train with lights on, but the organisers/staff have put so much effort into making it so much more, I'm not tell you with what, just go see it yourself, but just leave me a few tickets please!

We went as a family group last December, thinking the children might enjoy it. The whole experience far outstripped anything we expected. It was fantastic. We adults were excited as the children.
It's a really exciting Christmas treat, and makes a wonderful family Christmas present.
This year I'm taking 2 more of my grandchildren. I can't wait to see their faces when they first see the train, as well as throughout the journey. ❤️

Have been on the train many times some times twice a year but this is the first time in 30years for my daughter as last time was on family holiday in Dartmouth when she was 5yrs old.
Excellent as always.

Does the train stop in Brixham for us to explore?

Since the COVID shutdown the new business model means the service only runs from Paignton to Kingswear. Not stopping at intermediate stations means they don't have to employ staff at these and thus save money. For a commercial enterprise, not a stean preservation one, maximising how the money is brought in is important. Especially with the eye watering cost of coal these days ! To get to Brixham by train you will need a time machine.

Hi, you can't book via the website but if you call the Torquay kiosk on 01803 293797 they will book it for you. The bus departs at 10.00 on Tuesdays, Thursday's and Saturday's from Torquay Harbourside (Strand). Hope this helps?

if you read some recent reviews you will see the prices others paid. It varies depending on what you want (single, return, boat, train, Round Robin, family ticket, etc). I paid £85 for a family (two adults, two children) Round Robin - train, boat cruise, open topped bus, and I found that excellent value. A single man at our guest house paid £19 for a return steam train ticket from Paignton to Kingswear/Dartmouth, and he was pleased with that.
Best place to get exactly what you want for hard information is always going to be the attraction itself. For opinion and reviews, Trip Advisor is good. But for facts, always go to the website or phone the attraction itself. We are not allowed to put in links, but if you paste Dartmouth Steam Railway and River Boat into Google you will get the website, which has a page on prices and tickets. You can then select what you want from there.
Enjoy!

How long would you recommend in Dartmouth?

וולברהאמפטון, UK87 שיתופים
We spent a couple of hours there, that's probably enough for anyone.
There always seems to be something going on around the Bandstand, so If sitting and relaxing is your choice you could while away an afternoon.

Not in this 2020 Covid year.
It could be done in any normal year by booking a Sea Train rather than a Dartmouth Day Cruise, but this year the Sea Train is not an option.
Day Cruises are available on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday in August only and subject to weather conditions.
