The Last Train from Exeter to Okehampton - Plymouth to Exeter - The Southernway

It was the 5th June 1972 that the last DMU train ran from Exeter to Okehampton. Keen train and cine film enthusiasts were there to capture the last run spanning across some of Dartmoor. No one back then would have ever dreamt that the line would be reopened in 2021.

Exclusive archive footage taken from 1940 - 60, of steam trains and the humble DMUs, show the beauty of Dartmoor, come rain, shine or snow. The DVD PLYMOUTH TO EXETER - THE SOUTHERNWAY is available from our website.

Nice to see that the service from Exeter to Okehampton has been reinstated

The original video was show in 1995 and we never thought we would see the day, but it's now here and such a pleasure to see.

Blimey matey, you make it sound as if 1972 was so long ago I was just beginning my teens 🥴

I know the feeling and I am sorry.
