It hasn’t been in preservation since 1958 either !
Let’s get things right people.
It’s South Devon Railway..
No plural. Not one of several. Just one railway by that name.
When is some accuracy going to break through in this publication?
Or is there a conspiracy going on that I don’t yet know about?
