Queens Park Station Torbay Road DEVON - Paignton, England, TQ4 6AF Phone: 01803 555872 Website The Dartmouth Steam Railway, formerly known as the Paignton & Dartmouth Steam Railway is a 6.5 miles (10.5 km) heritage railway on the former Kingswear branch line between Paignton and Kingswear in Torbay, Devon, England.
Due to the location of this line – at the heart of the English Riviera – much of the railway's business is summer tourists from the resorts of Torbay who are transported to Kingswear railway station from where a ferry takes them across the River Dart to the historic town of Dartmouth.
The line is owned and operated by Dart Valley Railway plc, who also own Dart Pleasure Craft Limited. Dart Pleasure Craft, who also trade as River Link, operates the Dartmouth Passenger Ferry between Kingswear and Dartmouth, together with river and coastal cruises from Dartmouth, many of which connect with the railway. As such, it is unusual amongst preserved railways in that it is a for-profit operation, and does not rely on volunteer labor or charitable donations. [Wikipedia]
