Coach Parking info

In Dartmouth

Postcode: TQ6 9AJ

Parking: There is a 20 minute Coach drop off point on the Embankment next to the main Town jetty and pontoon where our boats sail from. Longer term parking is available at the top of the hill near Sainsbury's, (parking fees apply), and Coach drivers can use the park and ride bus to return to the embankment.

In Paignton

Postcode: TQ4 6AF

Parking: Regrettably there is no Coach parking facility at Paignton steam railway station, although you may park close by under the Victoria multi storey at Garfield Rd, (Torbay Council parking fees apply).

You may drop off/pick up at Paignton BY ARRANGEMENT but this is only available at certain times of the year (check before booking). We need to move the barrier at the time you arrange to come in and we need to provide a banksman for you to reverse safely back onto Torbay Road.

Alternatively there is one coach bay in Torbay Rd, or you may use the National Express stopping bay opposite Paignton bus station to drop off/pick up. Both of these are just a few steps away from the steam railway station.

In Totnes Steamer Quay

Postcode: TQ9 5AL

Parking: There is space for 9 coaches in the adjacent Steamer Quay coach park, (parking fees apply).

Reviews

  • Brilliant day - Very pleasant day out, VERY well organised and friendly teams (train and ferry, especially in social distancing times). Would do it again and add the boat cruise.
  • Excellent. Recommended. - Numbers on board restricted due to Covid, but it didn't spoil our enjoyment. The Round Robin three-in-one ticket is a must do if you are in the area.
  • Chugging along! - The cruise along the River Dart was delightful and the witty commentary was also very informative. The last leg on the steam train was fantastic - chugging along past the beautiful beaches with children waving to you from the sands. Just priceless! We had the most amazing day, the itinerary is done with military precision and is therefore relaxing and exciting - we really loved it. This has got to be a "must do" trip!
