South Devon Railway has celebrated its 150th anniversary of its line opening from the mainline.

The line from Totnes to Ashburton that is nine miles long, opened on the 1st May 1872.

In 1971 the section between Buckfastleigh and Ashburton was closed down due to the A38 motorway replacing the railway line.

Today, the South Devon Railway is a popular heritage line between Buckfastleigh and Totnes Riverside.
