Full Steam Ahead for South Devon
Railway’s Winter Steam Gala
3rd – 5th January 2025 - two visiting steam locomotives
South Devon Railway is delighted to announce the return of its highly anticipated Winter Steam Gala, scheduled for Friday 3rd to Sunday 5th January 2025. This annual event will feature an impressive line-up of steam locomotives, offering enthusiasts and families a memorable experience on one of the UK's most scenic heritage railways. Along with two locomotives from the South Devon Railway home fleet, the Winter Steam Gala will showcase two visiting steam locomotives.
One of these is the Peckett and Sons locomotive No. 1940 “Henbury”, making a rare visit away from its home base of the Bristol Harbour Railway. Staying on from its duties hauling The Polar Express, GWR built 2800 Class locomotive No.2807 will be appearing in GWR Wartime Black, making a welcome change to the liveries more commonly seen.
South Devon Railway is proud to offer an intensive timetable for this event, providing ample travel opportunities throughout the three-day gala.
For a limited time only, South Devon Railway are selling tickets for the event at 2024 prices. Early booking is advised to secure a discounted ranger ticket, allowing unlimited travel across all timetabled locomotives all day.
