Book Signing

Visit the South Devon Railway on the 22nd June for the re-launch and book signing by Mike Lang, one of the authors of a re-printed book about the former GWR branch line to Moretonhampstead which has been produced to mark the end of passenger services on the line 60 years ago in 1959, plus a new special commemorative display of railway memorabilia in the Bovey Tracey Heritage Centre.

During the SDR's own 50th anniversary year of running, it seemed appropriate to have the book signing where people can still see GWR steam trains running

purchase your copy of the ‘The Newton Abbot to Moretonhampstead Railway’ book written by Anthony Kingdom and Mike Lang. There will be a limited number of copies per-signed by Anthony Kingdom in advance for early bird purchasers to get both signatures on their copy.

The two key events are the book signing itself by Mike Lang on Saturday 22 June, at 11.30 at Buckfastleigh station in our Buckfastleigh shop.

Saturday is a standard four train service for the South Devon Railway and the period for the signing is timed to coincide with the arrival of the first train from Totnes, 11.48 and departure of the 12.15. 
 
New commemorative display at the Bovey Tracey Heritage Centre, The Old Railway Station, St John’s Lane, Bovey Tracey, TQ13 9GP. The Bovey Tracey Heritage centre is open 1000 - 1600 Monday to Friday, and 1000 - 1200 Saturdays during the summer and is run by volunteers of the Bovey Tracey Heritage Trust.
