Winter Steam Gala at South Devon Railway

The South Devon Railway Winter Steam Gala will be taking place on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th January 2026, and is the perfect opportunity to enjoy some steam action before the railway reopens again for the 2026 season at February half term. Trains will operate to an intensive timetable, giving plenty of opportunity to travel behind these heritage locomotives. There will be five locomotives from the SDR home fleet as well as visitors.

Midwinter is a great time to take a ride on our GWR branch line, as the lack of greenery on the trees allows for some stunning views of the river and hills whilst the train meanders down the valley of the River Dart, travelling between Buckfastleigh and Totnes. Our trains are also cosy and warm, being heated by steam from the locomotive hauling your train.
