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
- Superb - Just loved the steam train from Paignton and boat trip in Dartmouth. A real old fashioned journey, social distancing in place. Great scenery and v.friendly helpful crew.
- Trip back in time - What a fantastic experience. The train ride from Paignton is a gentle trip with stunning views. Arriving in Kingswear you can almost imagine how people in days gone by must have felt. A short ferry ride takes you into Dartmouth which is a stunning little town.
- Excellent trip out - On recommendation from our hotel in Torquay we booked this and we were not disappointed. Steam train then ferry over to Dartmouth + a lovely river cruise for an hour included. We will visit again.
