Torbay Express

The Torbay Express is a named passenger train operating in the United Kingdom.

Historically, the Torbay Express name was applied to services operated by the Great Western Railway from Paddington to Torquay and Paignton.

The Torbay Express name is also used by Great Western Railway (train operating company) for its 10:00 service from London Paddington to Paignton (via Bristol), and the 14:15 return (via Castle Cary and the Berks and Hants line).

From 2003, Past-Time Rail revived the Torbay Express as a passenger charter steam locomotive service, to run on certain summer Sundays and some Saturdays, from: Bristol Temple Meads via stops at Weston-Super-Mare and Taunton; to Paignton and onwards via the Dartmouth Steam Railway to Kingswear. For the 2014 season, two of the booked railtours ran via Westbury instead of Weston, calling at Bath Spa, Trowbridge, Westbury and Taunton, then picking up the normal route. At first, this was done because of engineering works. However, thanks to its success, the same concept is being repeated with two trains for the 2015 season.
