Galmpton drainage
9th August 2021
The drainage run at Galmpton was completed today!
We have a good stream of water coming out of the pipe which we believe is from a spring which the railway cutting has cut though. We are seeing around 500 litres per hour travel though the pipe which previously would have gone straight onto the track - and if that had occurred it would have reduced the life of the track asset.
Reviews
- Excellent! - A wonderful experience and not to be missed, steam train and paddle steamer through glorious scenery.
- Atmospheric steam train - We took the steam train from Paignton to Kingswear and then the ferry to Dartmouth (inc in the ticket). It was a trip back in time and most enjoyable, despite the very rainy weather! Good value for money.
- Fantastic visit - We chose to do the steam train and river cruise and it was fantastic. The staff were very helpful. After using the ferry to cross the river we went to find somewhere to have a snack before getting onto the cruise. The commentary was brilliant and we were pointed out different landmarks throughout the cruise. Thank you Dartmouth Steam Railway.
