Reviews of Dartmouth Steam Railway - (Paignton, Station)
"This was an incredible experience from start to finish. Every detail from the anticipation, story telling, lights and decorations inside and outside of the train. Truly amazing. Such a magical time. We'll done to everyone there your Christmas train of lights spectacular."
"Fabulous day out. The whole experience was well organised and all the transport was on time and the staff were very friendly. There is spectacular views of the beaches and marinas whilst on the train. It was clean and comfortable and your seats are allocated so no searching for a seat. The ferry's are every 15 mins and the trip over to dartmouth was nice and smooth. The river cruise was fantastic. The skippy showed us the sights. He was very friendly and also very funny. The views and scenery was great. The whole day was wonderful apart from one thing. In between the transportation there wasn't a lot to do. The town in dartmouth is quite poor and only had bakerys on offer in the way of food. We found this quite frustrating but the rest of the day more than made up for it. We were a family of ten, from 9 up to 72 years and it was enjoyed by all."
"Dissapointed start to the experience with a rather rude woman in the ticket office that twice walked off while serving us with out a word of what she was doing or how long she would be. we moved to the second window and bought our 2 round Robin tickets. Fortunately that was the only negative to a wonderful day out would have been a 5 star review if not for the ticket lady. We started on the steam train moving to a quick ferry ride over to Dartmouth. Plenty of time to explore the local area lots of historic buildings and land marks to see. Lots of shops and food and drink outlets to please most tastes and budgets. Then off on the river cruise very nice and the chap on the mic was funny and informative. Really nice little cafe at the end of the cruise follow by a bus ride back to the start."
"My Son and I had a great time here. We took a return trip on the train from Paignton to Kingswear. Such a wonderfully evocative way to travel and this is such a scenic line! You can also do the trip part train, part paddle steamer too and if we'd had a bit more time I'd probably have taken that option, but nevertheless, the train journey was superb anyway. Paignton station is right next door to the mainline railway station but there is no car park as such for the steam railway, so you have to use the mainline station's car park and walk back round, only a two minute walk, but you have to pay for a day's parking. Given that, you should plan to make a day of it! Kingswear is a beautiful place to visit anyway! Tickets are best booked via their website to avoid disappointment during the busy season. We visited midweek in June and could easily have bought our tickets at Paignton, but if you are going to do that, get there a good twenty minutes before your train goes as this railway is VERY punctual! Train times are on their website and they stick to them!"
