Welcome to the Plym Valley Railway


The aim of the Plym Valley Railway is to re-build a one and a half mile section of the ex-Great Western branch line from Marsh Mills to Plym Bridge. The line used to run from Tavistock Junction, just outside of Plymouth, to Launceston. It is a heritage railway centre where we are preserving steam and diesel locomotives, carriages, wagons, and other historic railway artefacts to recreate the atmosphere of a bygone age.

We operate passenger trains on selected days over a section of the line from our station at Marsh Mills to Lee Moor Crossing, a distance of approximately three-quarters of a mile or 1,200 metres.  The section to Plym Bridge should be open later in 2012.

New and enthusiastic volunteers are needed in all departments, including motive power, permanent way, carriage and wagon, building and Works, fund raising and retail outlets.
