Double Manors! Dartmouth Steam Railway - 17th & 19th July 2015

For the summer season, the Dartmouth Steam Railway received a visitor in the form of 7820 ‘Dinmore Manor’ to join the home fleet, notably resident manor 7827 ‘Lydham Manor’, which provided the opportunity for the railway to run 2 BR Black manors.
From the 17th - 19th July, the Dartmouth Steam Railway heled their second annual Beer Festival at Kingswear which resulted in both Manors working to an intensive two-train timetable along the railway with the resident Class 25 D7535 also in action when both 7820 and 7827 double headed trains on the Saturday and Sunday, this is believed to be a first time 2 BR Black manors have done so in the preservation era.
The video shows both manors in action over Friday 17th and Sunday 19th July either working solo or double heading.
The shots included are -
7827: Goodrington Station, Saltern Cove and Waterside
7820: Goodrington, Saltern Cove, Waterside, Broadsands and Greenway Tunnel
Double Manors: Waterside, Britannia Crossing and Greenway

Travelled on 75014 on Nov 19th. It bought back fond memories from the early 60s. Well worth the money.
