EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the essence of a bygone era, showcasing "The Torbay Express" in all its glory. Created in the 1920s as a promotional poster for the Great Western Railway (GWR), this image transports us to South Devon's picturesque landscapes. As the steam locomotives chug along the tracks, cutting through lush greenery and hugging the rugged coastline, one can almost feel the excitement of embarking on a journey filled with adventure and relaxation. The GWR aimed to entice holidaymakers to explore South Devon's treasures, highlighting Torquay as their primary destination. Departing from Paddington at noon sharp, this iconic train would whisk passengers away on an unforgettable voyage. After a leisurely three-and-a-half-hour ride, travelers would arrive in Torquay - known for its sandy beaches and charming seaside atmosphere. But that was not all; continuing onwards to Paignton and Kingswear opened up even more possibilities. Passengers had the opportunity to cross over to Dartmouth via ferry - an enchanting town nestled on the banks of River Dart. This seamless connection between rail and sea made it effortless for vacationers to explore every corner of this glorious region. Preserved within National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this timeless photograph serves as a window into history - reminding us of simpler times when steam trains ruled supreme and coastal adventures awaited those who dared embark upon them.
