Totnes Station Bench

Totnes Station Bench
The South Devon Railway, previously known as the Dart Valley Railway, is a 10.7km single track railway which for the majority of its route to Buckfastleigh runs alongside the River Dart.

Totnes is a lovely thriving town with independent only shops along its hilly Main Street. Amongst the shops are a department store, hand made shoe shop, several silver jewellers, and a large secondhand bookshop.
Buckfastleigh on the southern edge of Dartmoor is an equally lovely town and its other main tourist attractions are Buckfast Abbey and the Butterfly Farm and Otter Sanctuary.

A great day out end of March - October!

HTSBM to everyone, have a great week!

A wonderfully old fashion station Maggie. I haven't been to Totnes, but have visited Buckfastleigh and the Abbey. HTSBM :-)

The SDR has its own line and platform adjacent to the main line station.
I love Totnes especially on market day (Fridays and Saturdays).

It is indeed a very scenic ride.
Hope you have a good week too, apparently it's supposed to be a bit fresher - here's hoping!

A train journey from which to enjoy beautiful views Maggs, but the station itself is a little gem and worth taking photos of. I love how you have captured it here with the light on the side of the carriages and all the signs along the pretty station platform

HTSBM and have a good week ahead

Bless you Carol, it's been so long since I've been on it I can't remember what the other stations look like or why I have no other photos of it.

Have a good week and enjoy the hopefully fresher and cooler weather.

Das würden Sie nicht tun Tanja, und selbst wenn Sie es getan hätten, hätte es im Café Bänke gegeben.
Und wenn das keinen Sinn ergibt, geben Sie Google die Schuld, ich musste auf Übersetzen zurückgreifen (wegen der Zeitformen)!!

This photo is way out there, Maggie :-)
I like trains as I've been traveling on trains ever since my childhood. And the old trains were especially cool, or perhaps I'm just nostalgic... ;-)

MaggsMep club has replied to Edna Edenkoben club
I love steam railways Edna, my father was a huge fan and any excuse and we'd be on a train to somewhere either that or sitting in a field having a picnic beside a railway!!

It's okay to be nostalgic although probably not politically correct given climate change ...

Hi Maggs
A wonderful and interesting picture, which I like very much!
Very nice composition!
I've been to see this railway a couple of times this past year, but not been to Totnes for a long time!
Best Wishes, Happy Tuesday, a nice week ahead, and stay safe!!
