Tunnel Works

9th December 2021

We carried out some work in the Greenway tunnel this week. We changed out 400 clips for new 401a clips with a corrosion protective coating (due to the wet environment of the tunnel). We also changed some rail pads and packed the track to ensure a good ride for our passengers - especially with the Train of Lights currently in operation! Lastly, we profiled the some of the rails with a grinder to ensure they continue to be safe to run on.

  • Perfect day - We have done this several times over the years and is a fantastic day out. The steam train ride is great, but the cruise makes it. The commentary is very good and funny. Would definitely recommend this trip if in the area.
  • 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.
  • 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.
