Honour for a volunteer
10th August 2021
We found the perfect way to honour a longstanding volunteer - name a carriage after her! Jean Watson used to watch the trains toing and froing at Paignton with her uncle when she was a child. After a nursing career in London and Cambridgeshire she returned to Devon and began her volunteering with us here at Dartmouth Steam Railway.
In Jean's own words, we have been her second family and we acknowledge what she has done for us over the years, her volunteering work has been incredible - and often boosted morale with her homemade lemon cakes!
Reviews
- A thoroughly enjoyable day out - I was very impressed with the organisation, it was always very clear where we were supposed to go and what time we were supposed to be somewhere - would happily do it again.
- Nostalgic day out - Had a great day on the steam railway and paddleboat with my family. Fantastic views during the railway trip and equally excellent views, and commentary, during the river cruise. Well worth the cost, friendly and helpful staff.
- All lovely - All done very well. Everything clean (train/boats), staff friendly and commentary on the river cruise added a bit of fun. Really good day out, lots of families. Take hats, drinks and dogs! If you have one.
