Notes :
(1) This was the official re-opening day for the DVLR, though
specials had operated over the line for the Stephenson Locomotive Society four
days earlier on May 17th. The ceremony was performed by Lord Beeching. It is
recorded that the train ran to Totnes, but this may have been the operational
limit for the railway, prior to Totnes itself. Ian Allan Ltd were responsible
for the arrangements.
