Torbay Express
From TrainSpottingWorld, for Rail fans everywhere
The Torbay Express is a named passenger train operating in the United Kingdom.
Great Western Railway
Historically, the Torbay Express name was applied to services operated by the Great Western Railway from London Paddington to Torquay and Paignton.
Revival
In recent years, the name had been reused for a passenger charter steam locomotive service which runs on certain summer Sundays and some Saturdays, each year from Bristol Temple Meads, via Weston-super-Mare to Torquay, Paignton and Kingswear. The Torbay Express is operated by Past-Time Rail.
The service has used the GWR 6000 Class 6024 King Edward I and LNER Class A4 60009 Union of South Africa locomotives
