AS PART of the South Devon Railway's re-opening plans, it started trial running empty coaching stock steam trains from April 7 for month-long 'shakedown refreshers' for footplate crews, guards and signalmen. The 20 days of 'shakedown' trains ran every Wednesday to Sunday inclusive until May to a non-published timetable, typically with five round trips a day. None of the trains carried passengers. SDR Site Open Days started on April 12; and it was due to re-open for public trains on May 17.
