Title: Torbay Express steam service from Bristol is a runaway success Post by: Chris from Nailsea on July 14, 2008, 21:10:04 The first Torbay Express train of the season on Sunday went to Paignton and Dartmouth, and was only 26 seats short of being a 475-seat sell-out.

What a success story! It's gone from 4 Sundays in 2003 to 14 in 2008, though I notice they've dropped the Saturday runs this year, which always seemed a bit high risk to me. I always feel it's a bit pricey, and with only a ^5 reduction for children it's ^210 for a family. But obviously they've priced it correctly if they're filling it. And stabling the stock at Temple Meads during the week must be wonderful free advertising.
