Your train will follow the same route to Paignton as any normal scheduled service. In fact it has to from Taunton onwards - there is no other way!

From Paignton to Kingswear (for Dartmouth) you will be travelling on the privately owned Dartmouth Steam Railway and Riverboat Company line.

Unless you get a really sympathetic Train Manager. (I believe such a thing exists!!!)

I would say about 90%.  TM▸ (Train Manager, or possibly Ticket Machine, depending on context) are on comission now you know  Grin

PS If you do miss the train bacause you first train is late just show you Torbay Express ticket to the TM.  Should not be  a problem.

Would most TMs▸ (Train Manager, or possibly Ticket Machine, depending on context) really honour a connection from a railtour, super tm?

I'm a bit sceptical, but great customer service if they would.
