Visitor Centre
Our new Visitor Centre was opened in the Mark 1 coach in time for the 2016 season. This now provides a first class visitor experience for the area including four main back-lit display panels explaining what to see along the Tarka Trail, plus a full width map of a journey from Meeth to Braunton. Points of interest are shown by semaphore signals and images.
Charlotte and Dave in Tea on the Train also oversee the Visitor Centre and will be pleased to help you on site with any queries you may have.

Welcome to 2019, our 30th Anniversary Year
DIESEL LOCO RESTARTED!!
After a 12 months-long complete rebuild of its diesel engine, our Planet diesel locomotive was successfully started at 3.15pm on Thursday 11th July. The days of black smoke were gone and the engine ran sweetly. A very big "well done" to the small team that have worked tirelessly to achieve this.
Another excellent start to our 30th anniversary year.
