SDR brakevan trains this year?

摘要

Completion of another GWR 'Toad'brakevan restoration at the South Devon Railway has prompted thoughts of running occasional brakevan trains over the line. The SDR now has six operational brakevans (four 'Toads', a BR'Shark'and a standard BR van). In the 1960s, brakevan specials often ran over little-used branches and at the tail end of its BR days a train of around 20 vans was run over the branch to Ashburton. With the vehicles available, the SDR could well revive such enthusiast specials over its Buckfastleigh-Totnes line this year.
