Paignton & Dartmouth Steam Railway - 24th August 2009

Monday 24th August 2009 the PDSR ran there peak timetable service since it was another summers day meaning up to two steam locomotives would be running trains up and down the Nations Holiday Line which starts at Paignton passing the sea from Goodrington to Churston were the line passes through the cliffs and after Greenway Tunnel you hit the stunning views of the River dart till you reach the end of the line at Kingswear.

The Locomotives in action during the day were -

BR(W) 4-6-0 78xx Manor Class 7827 'Lydham Manor'
GWR 2-8-0T 4200 Class 4277 'Hercules'

The day started for me at Taunton station were I joined JBTEvans on a train to Paignton and was soon joined by GWRDec (Who was on Holiday In Devon) at Exeter St Davids and I would like to thank them for another fantastic day out.

The weather started out grey and dull with a bit of drizzle but soon it cleared up and the sun came out making it more perfect for a day out for riding and Filming.
The day was a mix of Linesideing at some locations between Goodrington and Churston and outside Kingswear along the river and we also did 2 round trips on each of the locomotives that were running.

The trains JBTEvans, GWRDec & I caught were

1030 Paignton - Kingswear with 7827 Lydham Manor
1245 Kingswear - Goodrington with 7827 Lydham Manor
1600 Goodrington - Paignton with 4277 'Hercules'
1615 Paignton - Kingswear with 4277 'Hercules'
1700 Kingswear - Paignton with 4277 'Hercules'

In the video we see mainly some lineside shots as well as some onboard footage of 7827 climbing to Churston (Only included because I love manors lol)
Im so happy that 7827 ran!

The PDSR is a fantastic line to spend a day out on and to those who do not like this line because of how they run it and keep there engines just give it a chance.

Enjoy!
