Quote Approximately 300 people turned out to celebrate the 90th birthday of Parson Street station. The celebration was timed to coincide with the steam engine “Clan Line” departing on a Torbay Express excursion to Dartmouth. The speed of this train, and of the preceding HST, demonstrated the importance of the recently-painted yellow lines which remind passengers to stay well back from the platform edge. The fantastic Friends of Parson Street Railway Station group organized refreshments, stalls and music from the Ravens Marching Band. Special edition Parson Street fridge magnets proved popular and an information board about the station history was unveiled.
