Group Visits
The SDR is a great destination for coach parties, schools, Scouts and Guides, clubs, and group outings. Just off the A38 at Buckfastleigh and situated on the foothills of Dartmoor, access is easy for even the biggest of coaches, with dedicated free coach parking at our station.
Discounts of up to 15% are available for pre-booked groups of 20 or more, and we will reserve your seats on the train for you.
We also offer group-rate joint tickets with the Dartmoor Otters & Buckfastleigh Butterflies at Buckfastleigh – contact us for availability and pricing of joint tickets.
The South Devon Railway can make for a whole day tour for those who want to appreciate all of the rich railway history on offer, or a perfect additional visit before or after any of the other local attractions nearby. Many operators combine a visit to the South Devon Railway with a trip to nearby Dartmoor or Buckfast Abbey.
Single and return tickets are available, however please be aware that there is an approximate 450 metre walk from our station at Totnes Riverside to the coach pick up point at Totnes mainline railway station. Return tickets are by far the most popular option for the numerous tour operators who book with us.
Our trains run daily from late March until late October each year, with festive services in December too.
Groups can save up to 15%! Get in touch with us for a personalised quote and to secure your booking.
